Subject: [9fans] bug in /sys/lib/newuser

I believe there's a small bug in the /sys/lib/newuser script.
It begins thusly:

	#!/bin/rc

	user=`{cat /dev/user}
	home=/usr/$user
	if(test -d $user/tmp){
		echo user directories already made
		exit no
	}

The test to avoid duplicate execution here seems wrong:
it should be testing $home/tmp rather than $user/tmp,
unless there's some reason for the code to expect to
*only* be run from /usr.
