Centos is still not happy:

[root at openpbx ~]#adduser -M -g openpbx -s /sbin/nologin
usage: adduser [-u uid [-o]] [-g group] [-G group,...]
[-d home] [-s shell] [-c comment] [-m [-k template]]
[-f inactive] [-e expire ] [-p passwd] [-M] [-n] [-r] [-l] name
adduser -D [-g group] [-b base] [-s shell]
[-f inactive] [-e expire ]
[root at openpbx ~]#
