You are correct, I misinformed you. The /etc/default/useradd file is there as a backup for values that may not already be defined in /etc/libuser.conf. The login.defs file also contains attributes used by libuser.conf. If you look at the /etc/libuser.conf file you will see that: [CODE] [userdefaults] LU_USERNAME = %n # LU_UIDNUMBER = 500 LU_GIDNUMBER = %u # LU_USERPASSWORD = !! # LU_GECOS = %n # LU_HOMEDIRECTORY = /home/%n # LU_LOGINSHELL = /bin/bash [/CODE] If you look at /etc/login.defs: [CODE] # # Min/max values for automatic uid selection in useradd # UID_MIN 500 UID_MAX 60000 # # Min/max values for automatic gid selection in groupadd # GID_MIN 500 GID_MAX 60000 [/CODE] Hope this clear things up....
