--- Comment #1 from Brooks Davis <brooks at FreeBSD.org> ---
The pw_checkname() function is used to validate the username before any actions
are taken and rejects names contain '/' (The whole list of bad characters is "
,\t:+&#%$^()!@~*?<>=|\\/\"").  Thus a path in the name argument isn't possible.
 At a glance the name also isn't used for anything but print output.  I believe
this isn't an issue.
