The branch main has been updated by karels: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=bbb2d2ce422070869bd93a0771251e654c07b13d commit bbb2d2ce422070869bd93a0771251e654c07b13d Author: Mike Karels <karels@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2023-05-23 12:17:42 +0000 Commit: Mike Karels <karels@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2023-05-23 12:17:42 +0000 pw: do not move /home/$user to /usr/home When adding a user, pw will create the path to the home directory if needed. However, if creating a path with just one component, i.e. that appears to be in the root directory, pw would create the directory in /usr, and create a symlink from the root directory. Most commonly, this meant that the default of /home/$user would turn into /usr/home/$user. This was added in a self-described kludge 26 years ago. It made (some) sense when root was generally a small partition, with most of the space in /usr. However, the default is now one large partition. /home really doesn't belong under /usr, and anyone who wants to use /usr/home can specify it explicitly. Remove the kludge to move /home under /usr and create the symlink, and just use the specified path. Note that this operation was done only on the first invocation for a path, and this happened most commonly when adding a user during the install. Modify the test that checked for the creation of the symlink to verify that the symlink is *not* made, but rather a directory. Add a test that intermediate directories are still created.
