>Description:

pw(8) will always use mkdir(2) to create home directories.  In some
situations, this is inappropriate, and it should be possible for the
administrator to configure a hook script that is called instead.  Such
a script might be used, for example, to automatically create a new ZFS
dataset for each new home directory, in accordance with recommended
practice on ZFS.

>How-To-Repeat:

Read pw(8).  Examine the code in pw_user.c.  Be sad.
