How to create dummy user?

Question

I want to create user with least privileges. Without home, without rights, without shell. How to do that? When I call useradd it creates user with home

Solution

Per the man page, this command will create a user with no home directory, and no shell.

 useradd -M -s /bin/false <desired username>

Did you even look at the manual for useradd?

I like the question. Even if some assume the problem so simple that a man useradd would suffice, I can imagine that there is more involved here and actually implicitly asked for. I cannot understand the downvote.

man useradd 2>&1 | egrep -i 'dummy|rights' | wc -l gives 0, so this is a good question!
