            Bug ID: 245117
           Summary: x11/sddm: Home directory should be under /var
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: kde@FreeBSD.org

The entry for sddm in /usr/ports/UIDs has $HOME=3D/usr/local/etc/sddm/home.

I believe this is incorrect as sddm uses $HOME to store state instead of
configuration; and hier(7) suggests that /usr/local/etc should only have
configuration files instead of transient files. sddm  modifies the contents=
 of
$HOME whenever someone logs in/out.

I would suggest its $HOME be relocated to /var/sddm.
