In the (current, development) book for sysv, /etc/profile is covered in 7.7. I agree that it doesn't seem to be covered in the systemd book. Whether it should be, I have no idea. For the others, I don't think we've created them in a long time. But they are the sort of thing that people used to expect in the distant past. Maybe the text has just hung on, or maybe I'm missing something. But for what sounds like a problem with useradd, you need to provide more details. I haven't needed to add real users for many years, I just copy the details (and share /home across builds), so I can't help. ĸen -- I live in a city. I know sparrows from starlings.
