Package: passwd
Version: 4.0.3-31sarge1

useradd does not create home directories or groups.  I have found this
to be the case on i386, alpha, and mips.

o2:~# useradd -c "Some User" suser
o2:~# ls -al /home/
total 8
drwxrwsr-x   2 root staff 4096 2004-12-15 18:27 .
drwxr-xr-x  21 root root  4096 2005-03-31 20:55 ..
o2:~# cat /etc/group | grep suser
o2:~#
o2:~# cat /etc/passwd | grep suser
suser:!:1000:100:Some User:/home/suser:
