+.SH NAME
+/etc/adduser.conf \- configuration file for 
+.B adduser(8) 
+and 
+.BR addgroup(8) .
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The file 
+.I /etc/adduser.conf
+contains defaults for the programs
+.B adduser(8)
+, 
+.B addgroup(8)
+,
+.B deluser(8)
+and 
+.BR delgroup(8) .
+Each line holds a single value pair in the form
+.IR option " = " value .
+Double or single quotes are allowed around the value, as is whitespace
+around the equals sign.  Comment lines must have a hash sign (#) in the
+first column.
+
+The valid configuration options are:
+.TP
+\fBDSHELL\fP
+The login shell to be used for all new users.  Defaults to
+.IR /bin/bash .
+.TP
+\fBDHOME\fP
+The directory in which new home directories should be created.
+Defaults to
+.IR /home .
+.TP
+\fBGROUPHOMES\fP
+If this is set to
+.IR yes ,
+the home directories will be created as
+.IR /home/[groupname]/user .
+Defaults to
+.IR no .
+.TP
+\fBLETTERHOMES\fP
+If this is set to
+.IR yes ,
+then the home directories created will have an
+extra directory inserted which is the first letter of the loginname.
+For example:
+.IR /home/u/user .
+Defaults to
+.IR no .
+.TP
+\fBSKEL\fP
+The directory from which skeletal user configuration files should be
+copied.  Defaults to
+.IR /etc/skel .
+.TP
+.BR FIRST_SYSTEM_UID " and " LAST_SYSTEM_UID
+specify an inclusive range of UIDs from which system UIDs can be
+dynamically allocated. Default to
+.IR 100 " - " 999 .
+Please note that system software, such as the users allocated by the base-passwd 
+package, may assume that UIDs less than 100 are unallocated.
+.TP
+.BR FIRST_UID " and " LAST_UID
+specify an inclusive range of UIDs from which normal user's UIDs can
+be dynamically allocated. Default to
+.IR 1000 " - " 59999 .
+.TP
+.BR FIRST_SYSTEM_GID " and " LAST_SYSTEM_GID
+specify an inclusive range of GIDs from which system GIDs can be dynamically allocated.
+Default to
+.IR 100 " - " 999.
+.TP
+.BR FIRST_GID " and " LAST_GID
+specify an inclusive range of GIDs from which normal group's GIDs can
+be dynamically allocated. Default to
+.IR 1000 " - " 59999 .
+.TP
+\fBUSERGROUPS\fP
+If this is set to
+.IR yes ,
+then each created user will be given their own group to use.  If this
+is
+.IR no ,
+then each created user will be placed in the group whose GID is
+\fBUSERS_GID\fP (see below).  The default is
+.IR yes .
+.TP
+\fBUSERS_GID\fP
+If \fBUSERGROUPS\fP is
+.IR no ,
+then \fBUSERS_GID\fP is the GID given to all newly-created users.  The
+default value is
+.IR 100 .
+.TP
+\fBDIR_MODE\fP
+If set to a valid value (e.g. 0755 or 755), directories created will have
+the specified permissions as umask. Otherwise 0755 is used as default.
+.TP
+\fBSETGID_HOME\fP
+If this is set to
+.IR yes ,
+then home directories for users with their own group (
+.IR USERGROUPS=yes
+) will have the setgid bit set. This was the default setting for adduser
+versions << 3.13. Unfortunately it has some bad side effects, so we no
+longer do this per default. If you want it nevertheless you can still
+activate it here.
+.TP
+\fBQUOTAUSER\fP
+If set to a nonempty value, new users will have quotas copied from
+that user.  The default is empty.
+.TP
+\fBNAME_REGEX\fB
+User and group names are checked against this regular expression. If the name
+doesn't match this regexp, user and group creation in adduser is refused unless
+--force-badname is set. With --force-badname set, only weak checks are
+performed. The default is the most conservative ^[a-z][-a-z0-9]*$.
+.TP
+\fBSKEL_IGNORE_REGEX\fB
+Files in /etc/skel/ are checked against this regex, and not copied to
+the newly created home directory if they match.  This is by default set
+to the regular expression matching files left over from unmerged config
+files (dpkg-(old|new|dist)).
+.TP
+\fBADD_EXTRA_GROUPS\fB
+Setting this to something other than 0 (the default) will cause adduser
+to add newly created non-system users to the list of groups defined by 
+EXTRA_GROUPS (below).
+.TP
+\fBEXTRA_GROUPS\fB
+This is the list of groups that new non-system users will be added to.
+By default, this list is 'dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev users games'.
+.SH NOTES
+.TP
+\fBVALID NAMES\fB
+adduser and addgroup enforce conformity to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, which allows only the following characters to appear in group and user names: letters, digits, underscores, periods, at signs (@) and dashes. The name may no start with a dash. The "$" sign is allowed at the end of usernames (to conform to samba).
+
+An additional check can be adjusted via the configuration parameter NAME_REGEX to enforce a local policy.
