The man page for adduser points you to /etc/adduser.conf.
man adduser.conf
But I think what you want is not in the feature set. So you would
need to use a script to do this automatically. The adduser man page
also says this:
If the file /usr/local/sbin/adduser.local exists, it will be
executed after the user account has been set up in order to do
any local setup. The arguments passed to adduser.local are:
username uid gid home-directory, and the environment variables
DEBUG and VERBOSE will be set according to the settings in the
master pro gram.
So setting up adduser.local seems easy enough. I have no needed to do
this myself however so have not tried it.
