>Description:
pw(8) does not take over the permissions of the skeleton directory (default /usr/share/skel) when adding user with homedirectory creation. It seems that the function now copies the content of the skeleton dir instead of the directory itself.
>How-To-Repeat:
# chmod 0700 /usr/share/skel
# pw useradd TESTUSER -m
# ls -al /home/ |grep TESTUSER
>Fix:
