The discussion didn’t yield anything (unfortunately) as far as whether or not the directory should be removed (it’s empty right now). /etc/skel is used by Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Solaris for skeleton files; FreeBSD uses /usr/share/skel instead. Should the path be linked to /usr/share/skel or deleted (potential patch here: https://people.freebsd.org/~ngie/remove-etc-skel.patch )? Removing /etc/skel you mean? It's empty, but /usr/share/skel is not empty. Does anything outside of the base system use /etc/skel or /usr/share/skel? -- John Baldwinhelp
