[Clayton Keller <1416795@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release:	14.04

$ sudo useradd -D
[sudo] password for clayk:
GROUP=100
HOME=/home
INACTIVE=-1
EXPIRE=
SHELL=/bin/sh
SKEL=/etc/skel
CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=no

Attempting to change SHELL:

$ sudo useradd -D -s /bin/bash
$ sudo useradd -D
GROUP=100
HOME=/home
INACTIVE=-1
EXPIRE=
SHELL=/bin/sh
SKEL=/etc/skel
CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=no

Attempting with slight variation of command:

$ sudo useradd -Ds /bin/bash
$ sudo useradd -D
GROUP=100
HOME=/home
INACTIVE=-1
EXPIRE=
SHELL=/bin/sh
SKEL=/etc/skel
CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=no

I am expecting the default shell to change to /bin/bash in this
instance.
