If this is "feature" and not a "bug" in useradd on Debian then -b should be documented to match the functionality of the code. That is, -b should then be documented to state that -D must be specified in conjunction with -b to set a new default base directory. Based on that, -b can never be used to temporarily set the base directory in conjunction with -m. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
