I clearly remember spending over a week going through this exact problem
with you months and months ago.

After about 10 thousand emails from me saying the same thing over and
over, you admitted that you may have been creating users with
/nonexistent as their $HOME because that's what you saw listed in stuff
for ports.

Ports didn't create that directory.

You did.

The behaviour of the ports is exactly as it should be. It's kindof
ridiculous to create a directory named /nonexistent, when the name
clearly implies that it shouldn't exist.
