Man page says
======================
       -p, --password PASSWORD
          The encrypted password, as returned by crypt(3). The default is to
          disable the account.
======================

So that means the newly created user is disabled by default?

I am asking this because I am new to linux administration stuff. Most
of the time I am using as personal desktop.

Thanks
