Huh? What's wrong with a simple "useradd foobar"?

On Fedora/RHEL/Centos the defaults for useradd in /etc/login.defs are

very sane, so you don't need extra commands:

- Create private group (USERGROUPS_ENAB) -- yes

- Create home directory (CREATE_HOME) -- yes

 

So all that is left is to "passwd foobar", but that is routine to any Linux user even during normal life-cycle.
