It might be possible to do, but it means a fair amount of bending over backwards to force tools to do the wrong thing, and I''m really not inclined to do that unless there is a compelling reason. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''''`.

If you want to have a second root user without password, homedirectory and login shell you need it. And I mean technically there is no problem with that. In some cases you can''t use root for a specific task and you don''t want to use suid 0 binaries cause they might be exploited by other users. And I mean useradd enables this, why not then?

Your request feels like it breaks the first part, which is why we''re not keen on doing it. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''''`.
