Hi Dave, I see your point about the second user account so we'll drop it.
This issue also highlights a transition between managing user accounts with home directories as a UFS directory and home directories as ZFS file systems. I need to file a bug against the user account manager because it creates a user account with a home dir as a directory not a ZFS file system. If I create a ZFS file system and feed it to user account manager, it doesn't setup the user home dir ownership correctly. In the meantime, I'll figure something else out.
