Hi,
when installing FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1 and choosing the auto partition
layout (Guided -> Entire Disk -> Exit -> Save) with no seperate
/usr/home partition and adding no user accounts to the system
(Would you like to add users to the installed system now -> No)
neither
the /usr/home directory nor the /home symlink are created. I'm not
sure
if this is a bug or a feature, but adding users via adduser(8) or
pw(8)
without the directory and symlink in existance results in "mkdir
(/home/xxx): No such file or directory", making the newly created
user
account unusable. Therefor I'm suggesting that bsdinstall
creates /usr/home and the /home symlink in any case, regardless if
users are added or not.
Ciao,

Hi Yamagi,
this was already reported and will be fixed in BETA2. The cause was a
bug in
pw(8).
Cheers
Lars
