[Techtalk] creating a system user with no privileges

[Carla Schroder]

OK my little geeklings, what's the most universal way to create a system user 
with no login, no homedir, and no password? I'm used to using adduser 
--system --no-create-home --disabled-password --disabled-login <name>

But I don't think adduser is standard except for Debian and Slackware, most 
distros use useradd, do they not? And I don't see obvious options in man 
useradd for doing the same thing.

kthx  :)
