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 :)
