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.

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.
