adduser and quota



I was right!  In order for quota to work, the new user *MUST* have
existing file(s) on the file system.  I'm using Debian 1.3.1 and I'm
soon going to upgrade to the unstable version of Debian, containing
adduser 3.4.  I know adduser 3.2 does not touch the mail file, does
adduser 3.4?  If not.. can someone help me with the perl script?  Here
is what I want to add:

touch /var/spool/mail/$new_name
chmod 0600 /var/spool/mail/$new_name

If this isn't in adduser 3.4, can someone else add it please?

Thanks
-Paul
