* adduser: Normalize supplemental groupsDag-Erling Smørgrav2026-06-251-2/+2

* adduser.sh: Add info which separator to use in the question itselfBenedict Reuschling2026-06-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the non-root user setup (adduser.sh), people are often confused what the separator is when they are asked which groups to join the new user into. For example, wheel and operator: users often assume that the two groups are separated by a comma (and maybe even a space after it), but the script will check for that and refuses such entries. Help the users by mentioning that the groups need to be space separated in the question itself. That way, it does not take up extra space and avoids confusion about what the separator is.

* Bourne shell -> POSIX shellAlexander Ziaee2026-04-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The FreeBSD shell is a POSIX compatible shell. It evolved over several decades from the Almquist shell, which was preceeded a decade before that by the Bourne shell. Most readers today have never seen a Bourne shell. If someone wants to learn to use our shell, they need to look for tutorials on the POSIX shell. Align descriptions through out the tree with this reality, consistent with it's manual and common parlance. We made a similar change to the doc tree in b4d6eb01540fe.

* pw: set the user's home directory mode if it existedKyle Evans2024-12-011-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The adduser(8) prompt allows one to set the mode of a new home directory, but pw(8) doesn't honor the -M mode if the home directory already exists at creation time. It doesn't seem to make sense to ignore the mode (which may lead to a security issue on the system being configured) when we'll happily chown an existing directory, so fix the inconsistency.

* adduser: create dataset only if home is directly within datasetMike Karels2024-05-201-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, if the prefix of the new home directory is a subdirectory of a ZFS dataset, adduser will create a new dataset up one or more levels from the intended destination. "pw useradd" will then create a normal directory in the desired location, leaving an unused dataset. Check for this situation when determining whether to create a dataset, and let pw create the directory. Reviewed by: des Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D45229 MFC after: 3 days

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On systems utilizing ZFS, default to creating a ZFS dataset for a new user's home directory if the parent directory resides on a ZFS dataset. Add a flag that disables this behavior if the administrator explicitly does not want it. If run during installation from within a chroot, set mountpoint to legacy after dataset creation and mount directly into the chroot. Then umount and reset the mountpoint to inherit from parent. Also support ZFS default encryption on user's home directory. Feedback by: delphij Reviewed by: imp, kevans Pull Request: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/881

* various: general adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.Pedro F. Giffuni2017-11-272-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error prone - task. The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way, superceed or replace the license texts. No functional change intended.
