+# The SHELL variable specifies the default login shell on your

+# The default group for users

+# Same as USERS_GID in adduser
+# This argument is used when the -n flag is specified.
+# The default behavior (when -n and -g are not specified) is to create a
+# primary user group with the same name as the user being added to the
+# system.
+GROUP=10

+# The default home directory. Same as DHOME for adduser
+HOME=/tmp

+# The SKEL variable specifies the directory containing "skeletal" user
+# files; in other words, files such as a sample .profile that will be
+# copied to the new user's home directory when it is created.
+# SKEL=/etc/skel
