Ok, here is the help screen I get when I enter useradd:
*************************************************************************
# useradd
usage: useradd [-u uid [-o]] [-g group] [-G group,...] 
                [-d home] [-s shell] [-c comment] [-m [-k template]]
                [-f inactive] [-e expire mm/dd/yy ] name
        useradd -D [-g group] [-b base] [-f inactive] [-e expire]
**************************************************************************

When using the command line version, you need to specify the -d (home),
amoung other things.
It's easier to use Yast.
