busybox adduser creates home directory with "-H" option #122

Hi,

I am using alpine 3.6.2 and noticed that when using adduser to add a new user when I specify the "-H Don't create home directory" option it creates a home directory.

Using BusyBox v1.26.2.

adduser -u 666 -s /sbin/nologin -H -D -g "bela process user" bela bela cat /etc/passwd | grep bela bela:x:666:666:bela process user:/home/bela:/sbin/nologin

Regards

Hi @matinats – this repo is actually a distribution of Node.js built on top of Alpine – not the Alpine repo itself.
