well, if the utils aren't creating the dir, there is an error in thier config.
the simplest workaround:
md ~username
cp bashrc ~username
cp bash_profile ~username
cp from a user with same permission levels the new user is to have.
after that chown dir to ~username
then chown the files to that user also.
use "useradd -d
-m"
or "usermod -d
-m"
the "-m" option will tell useradd/usermod to
create the directory if it does not exist.
Otherwise the -d only adds/modifies the directory
reference in the user entry.
I am sorry, I don't mean to sound like an
a**hole, but this information is found in the
man pages "man useradd".
