Subject: [9fans] /sys/lib/newuser patch
Topicbox-Message-UUID: ff10fb48-ead5-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025


I'm playing around with 9vx and have split up (re)building 9vx from the the
9vx root file system provided in the tarball 9vx-0.12.tar.gz

When I first start 9vx from a clean build and run /sys/lib/newuser it builds
the user directory in /$user instead of /usr/$user.  The problem appears to
arize from the following:

========================
user=`{cat /dev/user}
home=/usr/$user
if(test -f $home/lib/profile){
	echo user directories already made
	exit no
}
cd $home
========================

When we try to cd to $home, it does not exist (as checked by the previous if),
and $cwd is set to / by default...  The following patch simply makes $home
before cd'ing to it.

Is this supposed to be the expected nehaviour?
