hi. i've been having problems getting pw to make a home directory in /home 
and follow /usr/share/skel.

i tried pw add user username -d /usr/home/username -k /usr/share/skel, but 
it doesn't work.

defaultpasswd random
home /usr/home
skeleton /usr/share/skel

is what i have in my /etc/pw.conf file. it creates the user, but it doesn't 
create the home directory. how do i get it to create the user & home dir w/ 
the contents of /usr/share/skel?


tyvm,



christopher
