Hello guys!

On redhat/centos/fedora the application useradd has a option -M. This option is useful when you use in /etc/login.defs the directive: 
CREATE_HOME true

Perhaps this isn't the right channel to ask for, but the website of shadow is down...
http://shadow.pld.org.pl/

So, if this is a compilation option, i will fill greate with.
Perdon my poor english...

And please, make option CREATE_HOME true, on login.defs, default  :)

We use almost straight sources from upstream for the shadow package, being a package involved in security, your best bet is to ask for adding that option to upstream shadow, then with the next version it will be available in Gentoo, too.
