Each option takes the form ''option'' = ''value''. Double or single quotes are allowed around the value. Comment lines must have a pound sign (#) in the first line. The valid configuration options are: __DSHELL__ The login shell to be used for all new users. Defaults to ''/bin/bash''. __DHOME__ The directory in which new home directories should be created. Defaults to ''/home''. __GROUPHOMES__ If this is set to ''yes'', the the home directories will be created as ''/home/[[groupname]/user''. Defaults to ''no''. __LETTERHOMES__ If this is set to ''yes'', then the home directories created will have an extra directory inserted which is the first letter of the loginname. For example: ''/home/u/user''. Defaults to ''no''. __SKEL__ The directory from which skeletal user configuration files should be copied. Defaults to ''/etc/skel''. __FIRST_SYSTEM_UID__ and __LAST_SYSTEM_UID__ specify an inclusive range of dynamically allocated system user UIDs.

Default to ''1000'' - ''29999''. __USERGROUPS__ If this is set to ''yes'', then each created user will be given their own group to use and their home directories will be g+s. If this is ''no'', then each created user will be placed in the group whose GID is __USERS_GID__ (see below). The default is ''yes''. __USERS_GID__ If __USERGROUPS__ is ''no'', then __USERS_GID__ is the GID given to all newly-created users. The default value is ''100''. __QUOTAUSER__ If set to a nonempty value, new users will have quotas copied from that user. The default is empty. __DIR_MODE__ If set to a valid value (e.g. 0755 or 755), directories created will have the specified permissions. Otherwise 0755 is used as default. __SETGID_HOME__ If this is set to ''yes'', then home directories for users with their own group ( ''USERGROUPS=yes'' ) will have the setgid bit set.
