Actually, you want to use "-m" with useradd (this is what I use). From
the man page,
" -m, --create-home
Create the users home directory if it does not exist. The files and
directories contained in the skeleton directory (which can be
defined with the -k option) will be copied to the home directory.
By default, no home directories are created."
