adduser is a script which in the end calls useradd command (as far as I
remember), so maybe you should look at useradd? I always use this
command while adding users. For example, if you want to add this "tux"
user to your system try this:

useradd -d /home/tux -m -s /bin/bash -c "Tux User" -g users -G
audio,video,cdrom,power,plugdev,netdev tux

Where:

-d - default home directory (appending -m tells useradd to create the
directory)
-s - default shell for the user
-c - comment
-g - main group for the user
-G - additional groups - if the user is a member of them, he has
     access to particular subsystems/features

Of course you should set password for tux: passwd tux

You can find a lot of information in: man useradd, man passwd

Happy hacking!
