Description
I found this bug in Rudder version 4.1
This bug happens when you create a user with the user technique. If you don't check the "default home" checkbox and don't put a value for home dir, an error happens.
It should just create a user without home directory.

unticking the "use the default home directory" and leaving empty the home directory fails, as it consider that the home is valid (The user XXXXX home directory is valid), and tries to run
/usr/sbin/useradd -m -s /bin/bash -d XXXXX
