--- Comment #1 from Brooks Davis <brooks@FreeBSD.org> ---
The pw_checkname() function is used to validate the username before any act=
ions
are taken and rejects names contain '/' (The whole list of bad characters i=
s "
,\t:+&#%$^()!@~*?<>=3D|\\/\"").  Thus a path in the name argument isn't pos=
sible.
 At a glance the name also isn't used for anything but print output.  I bel=
ieve
this isn't an issue.
