During the development of a product I am working on, I want to create / add a user through anaconda with the password as specified by the user / installer.

Following the code in anaconda (users.py) the following is passed through to libuser to create the user:
{{{
#if not self.users.createUser(name='admin',
# password=self.adminPassword["password"],
# isCrypted=self.adminPassword["isCrypted"],
# groups=['users', 'wheel'],
# homedir=None,
# shell='/bin/bash',
# uid=None,
# algo=self.getPassAlgo(),
# lock=False,
# root=self.anaconda.rootPath,
# gecos='Admin User',
# mkmailspool=True,
# mkhomedir=True):
# log.error("Cannot create Admin User for CLI access.")
}}}

Based on my understanding this should:

• Create an instance of libuser via admin.initUser
• pass through details to admin.addUser to add the user, create the home directory
• Set the password to the entry as entered via the installation process
• Create the users group
• Add the user to additional groups

This works: the user is created, but that is it. To actually get the password set, I have to run the users.setUserPassword() method which does set the password for the user correctly. No groups are created, no group membership is done, no home directory is set.

Reading /usr/share/doc/libuser-python-0.56.13/modules.txt, also indicates that creating the home directory is done my default:
{{{
- addUser: Add a new user to the system:
Arguments:

A libuser.Entity object with the
new user or group's information
(required).

A true/false object indicating
whether or not the home
directory for the user
should be created (optional,
defaults yes).
}}}
Based on the above - what should I be calling the libuser addUser method with to ensure that:
* The user account home directory gets created
* The user account password get's set properly
* The user account gets added to the right groups
