I setup a factory new ubuntu 22.04.
I run useradd test1, there is no home directory created.
I run useradd -m test2, there is home directory with ~/.bashrc and some other environment files. But the bash script doesn't seem to work: here is a screenshot
root@jenkins-slave02:/home# useradd -m test3
root@jenkins-slave02:/home# su - test3

$ ls -la

I don't modify /etc/skel, and here is my useradd -D output
root@jenkins-slave02:/home# useradd -D

HOME=/home
INACTIVE=-1

I don't know why. Please help.
