Hi,....

i made a Debian-sarge basic installation (so i hope the packetname i wrote above was correct)
and createt users by usind "adduser".

I used the synopsis: adduser --gecos --no-create-home <user> but the parameter 
  "--no-create-home" doesn't take effect.

I tried it in different ways,.... by using the prompt and a shell script.

Both methods created a /home/<user/ directory.


Sincerely

Stefan

The reportbug script does it right.

The --gecos option takes the contents of the gecos field as a
parameter, so you have successfully created a new account with the
gecos field contents "--no-create-home":

[1/52]mh@lefler[chroot sid]:~$ sudo adduser --gecos --no-create-home foo
Adding user foo'...
Adding new group foo' (1003).
Adding new user foo' (1003) with group foo'.
Creating home directory /home/foo'.
Copying files from /etc/skel'
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
[2/53]mh@lefler[chroot sid]:~$
[2/53]mh@lefler[chroot sid]:~$ getent passwd foo
foo:x:1003:1003:--no-create-home,,,:/home/foo:/bin/bash
[3/54]mh@lefler[chroot sid]:~$

Closing the bug.

Greetings
Marc
