    14.2/errata: ZFS home directory encryption
    
    The adduser command is able to create encrypted home directories, but
    we don't have any documentation advising users of how to decrypt their
    home directories automatically when they log in.  Since this is a bit
    of a foot-shooting issue, include it in the errata and hope that users
    will read that page.
