Hi there , you are almost right
adduser is only a symbol-link of the useradd in CentOS , for my
explanation , it may be security-related
you know , to use useradd , you can also specify the home dir,group
and so on , but script codes have danger
adduser under some distros such as archlinux,slackware is a
bash-script , so if you think it's more convenient to use a
user-friendly adduser written in bash , you can do it yourself , but
before that you should know exactly how to create a new user without
useradd-like utilities

Hi,

I just found a copy of "RHEL 5 Unleashed", and there's a very clear chapter about local user management, which explains Red Hat's specific use of 'useradd', especially default options.

Cheers,

Niki
