The 2nd and third command are already done with the -m (make home dir)
option to useradd. The defaults for useradd are set in /etc/defaults/useradd
This is the content on MY (10.3) openSUSE system:
GROUP=100
HOME=/home
INACTIVE=-1
EXPIRE=
SHELL=/bin/bash
SKEL=/etc/skel
GROUPS=video,dialout
CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=no

> passwd nusuer

passwd is always set separately, indeed, as well as some of the "chage"
values when you're using shadow (you already see the "INACTIVE" and
"EXPIRE" defaults above).

Yes! Thanks you, that fixed it. run passwd after the command.
