Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2014-11-29 23:49:47 UTC 
I think the current default of not creating home directories by 'useradd' is sub-optimal. If one creates a regular user, shklee usually expects the home directory to be created. Therefore, I think the CREATE_HOME directive should be uncommented in login.defs.

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
