Adding users [useradd]

["Jay Barbee" <sysjyb@adm105.adm.louisville.edu>]

For some reason, my debian box is not adding users properly.  I 
created a user, and it did not prompt me with any questions (Like 
Name and password).  It added a entry in the passwd file (more or 
less bare bones entry (no shell, password)) and it did not create the 
home directory that is specified in the passwd file.

I went and got the latest adduser (3.6) debian package and installed 
without success.  

...my two obvious questions... Did I do something to this thing?  and 
How to I fix it?

HELP!?!?
