Hi,
When following the example from the OpenSMTPD faq [0], first thing is to
create a new user with:
useradd -g =uid -c "Virtual Mail" -d /var/vmail -s /sbin/nologin vmail
which raises
warnx("Warning: home directory `%s' doesn't exist, and -m was"
" not specified", home);
I don't think giving a command that produces a warning is a good thing
in an official documentation. Also solving this problem make other
commands useless so it's a bit shorter.
