Description Trent Watkins 2009-07-15 01:40:59 UTC
after executing `adduser newname` which is linked to superadduser, the script performs as expected until it's time to create the new account. When you get to "This is it... if you want to bail out, hit Control-C.  Otherwise, press
ENTER to go ahead and make the account." and hit enter the user is not created and even though the output is "Creating new account..." Then is moves to trying to create another new user called -d "Login name for new user: -d"



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.as su enter `superadduser newname`
2.accept all the defaults for UID, initial Group, Additional Groups, Home Directory, Shell and Expiry Date
3. When prompted to press enter to create the new user or ctrl+c to cancel, pressing enter causes the script to output "Creating new account..." then says "Login name for new user: -d" and does not create the initial new user. 

Actual Results:  
adduser testuser

Login name for new user: testuser

User ID ('UID') [ defaults to next available ]:

Initial group [ users ]:

Additional groups (comma separated) []:

Home directory [ /home/testuser]

Shell [ /bin/bash ]

Expiry date (YYYY-MM-DD) []:

New account will be created as follows:

---------------------------------------
Login name.......:  testuser
UID..............:  [ Next available ]
Initial group....:  users
Additional groups:  [ None ]
Home directory...:  /home/testuser
Shell............:  /bin/bash
Expiry date......:  [ Never ]

This is it... if you want to bail out, hit Control-C.  Otherwise, press
ENTER to go ahead and make the account.


Creating new account...



Login name for new user: -d

User ID ('UID') [ defaults to next available ]:

Expected Results:  
Create the initially entered new user account and returned to a prompt.
