            Bug ID: 244756
           Summary: x11/sddm: /etc/ isn't a place for home directories
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: kde@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: cperciva@FreeBSD.org

The UIDs entry for sddm places its home directory in /usr/local/etc/sddm/ho=
me:

sddm:*:219:219::0:0:SDDM Display Manager
user:/usr/local/etc/sddm/home:/usr/sbin/nologin

This seems like a bad idea, since /usr/local/etc/ normally holds configurat=
ion
files, and is often managed via systems designed for that purpose; having it
contain a home directory is liable to cause unintended results.

It seems to me that the home directory should probably be somewhere under /=
var/
