I looked for it. -m This option instructs pw to attempt to create the user's home directory. While primarily useful when adding a new account with useradd, this may also be of use when moving an existing user's home directory elsewhere on the filesys- tem. The new home directory is populated with the contents of the skeleton directory, which typically contains a set of shell configuration files that the user may personalize to taste. When -m is used on an account with usermod, existing configuration files in the user's home directory are not overwritten from the skeleton files. --chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
