Description of problem:

/usr/sbin/useradd doesn't create mail spool files, and that makes non-setuid/gid
MDA's (like postfix handing actual delivery out to procmail) unable to deliver
mail. This is true even if CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL is set to yes in /etc/default/useradd


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

# rpm -q shadow-utils
shadow-utils-4.0.14-9.FC5

How reproducible:

It's always reproducible.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Simply create a new user.

  
Actual results:
No /var/spool/mail/$USER is created


Expected results:

An empty file called $USER with ownership $USER.mail should be created in
/var/spool/mail

I tested this on two boxes running RH9 and FC3, respectively, and it worked as
expected, the spool file was created:

access("/var/mail/test", R_OK)         = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/var/mail/test", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE,
027763516040) = 9

(this trace is from the FC3 box)
