You can change the default values using the -D option. The command

Code:

useradd -D

without any argument prints out the current default values. Using -D in conjunction with other options change the defaults, for example

Code:

useradd -D -b /var/spool

changes the prefix (location) of the home directories. These values are stored in /etc/default/useradd.
