What's the result of `ls -l /home`? If it looks something like this: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 8 Sep 7 09:55 /home -> usr/home =2E . . everything should be fine. FreeBSD places the home directory in /usr by default, so instead of /home it's /usr/home, and creates a symlink from /home to /usr/home for the sake of convenience. Are you sure that isn't what happened? --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --huq684BweRXVnRxX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkrM20oACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKWAswCg76sQ8XHQEqd3aNe5zxKas/N+ tpQAoMt4VjXgwlCMsgzX/tAd3Ji+xVwh =qzk6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --huq684BweRXVnRxX--
