https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D244756 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 Flags: maintainer-feedback?(kde@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: kde@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/ --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
