True. But you can wrap those commands into a shell script or a function and
then use that. You can even call the function 'useradd' if you want. If you
type it at the shell, your function will be used. But since functions can't
be exported, no other script will mistakenly use your script instead of the
real useradd command. I like to keep my function definitions in
/root/functions and then make sure your .bashrc has a line that says "source
~/functions".
You could define useradd like this in /root/functions:
useradd()
{
/sbin/useradd "$@" || exit $?
while [ "$2" != "" ]
do
shift
done
chmod 0700 "/home/$1"
}
That assumes the last argument given to useradd is the username. I think this
is the only correct way to specify it to useradd, anyway.
