Should the 'correct' entry be:-
fred:x:504:504:::/sbin/nologin ?
No; that's invalid. There must be an entry in the home directory field.
Thanks Stephen and Dennis for the helpful explanation.
I will use: useradd -d /dev/null -s /sbin/nologin snowman
You can add the -M option too which should get rid of the warning messages (though I have not tested this).
