Package: adduser
Version: 1.94-1
I recently used the adduser script for the first time in a while, and
was most puzzled when bash stopped executing my .profile.
Eventually I tracked it down to a rogue .bash_profile file that had
been created by some program. I deleted the .bash_profile, and bash
worked properly again.
I just ran adduser again and it put the .bash_profile back !
My cwd and HOME were all set to /u/ian, and I have used the
adduser.conf variable to set the home directories to appear under /u.
The user whose account I was creating didn't have their .bash_profile
edited by adduser to make the umask 002 (it should have been edited,
since I have usergroups turned on).
I suspect the lack of a directory name in a destination filename
somewhere.
Ian.

I reported that adduser creates a .bash_profile file in the invoking
user's current directory. On examining the code, it seems that if
/etc/skel contains a .login or a .profile it will write those too.
Below is a patch that I believe will fix the problem. It also adds a
new feature: after creating a new user, adduser will run
/usr/local/sbin/adduser.local if it exists, passing as arguments the
new username, its uid and its gid.
Ian.

Here is a better version of my patch, which also supplies the home
directory to adduser.local.
