Created a new user in Ubuntu 11.04 usinguseradd -d /home/dummy -m dummyNow, after this I set its password using passwd dummyBut, when i login to that user using su - dummyI get to see No home directory, logging in with HOME=/cat /etc/passwd | grep dummy shows dummy:x:1001:1001::/home/dummy:/bin/bashI manually created dir to resolve this issue through mkdir /home/dummyNow, the error seems to resolve, but I am amazed as to why no files like bash_profile are created in that home directory
No home directory, logging in with HOME=/
linux;useradd
