Here's the syntax you want to follow.  It worked for me on Slack, but the password option didn't work:

root at server:/# useradd -c 'User Name' -d /home/guest9 -g users -m -k /etc/skel -p password -s /bin/bash -u 33499 guest9

Hope that helps to get you going in the right direction.  Again, the password option  didn't work for me, so you'll need to research that.
