i have, this is why i noted that there was no "-M" option for the
"useradd" argument under "pw"

apparently, the "-M" under vanilla "useradd" indicates that a home
directory is not to be created.  i was not, and still am not sure if there
was a specific argument that allows for this.  from the looks if it i
guess there isn't.
