Bug Description

I tested the bug under Ubuntu 9.10 x64 Server and 10.04 x64 Desktop.

The command:

useradd -c "First name, Last name" [-d /home/user_name] user_name

doesn't create the directory /home/user_name, so when the user user_name logs in the console, he is presented with the error message:

No directory, logging in with HOME=/

Tested with Fedora 13 x64, and it works OK.

summary: - useradd doesn't create /home/user_name directory by default
+ useradd doesn't create /home/user_name directory
