>Description:
I grabbed one of gjb's livecd releases and when I was going through trying to set things up, I noticed that .profile wasn't installed to my home directory like I expect if I would have run pw useradd -m.
bsdinstall (and the password utility it uses) needs to follow an equivalent process because otherwise it's silly that one has to manually setup files in user's home directories when installing from the livecd.
>How-To-Repeat:
- Install from a FreeBSD 9.0+ LiveCD.
- Create a user foo.
- Note that ~foo/ doesn't contain .profile and other files from /usr/share/skel.
