yeah you're probably right on that - man useradd tells me...
-g default_group
The group name or ID for a new user’s initial group. The named group
must exist, and a numerical group ID must have an existing entry .
thus the script
/usr/bin/adduser %u -g %g
should do it (what the heck do I know...I'm using ldap) ;-)
