Creating a New User w/ Encrypted Home Dir?

[CarlosinFL]

When I installed Ubuntu & created my first user, it asked me if I wanted to encrypt their home directory. Can someone please tell me if I created a new user on my system using the 'useradd' command, how can I also 'encrypt' their home directory?

Thanks for any assistance!

adduser --encrypt-home new_user_name

Well, normally I do the following so I was wondering if there is an option for useradd command -vs- adduser?
