Title:
  useradd doesn't create /home/user_name directory

Status in “shadow” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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 there.
