Ahh quoting, I'll try with more context ;)
Earlier you wrote:
----
* The daemon DOES NOT need a home directory for its user.
* I DO NOT want to install anything to anyone's home directory.
* With respect to user.eclass, I'm proposing that /home be treated
EXACTLY THE SAME as it always has been.
---
So my question is "why not leave the homedir unset, or set it to /dev/null?"
The claim is that the daemon doesn't need a home directory, so why are we
trying to make one?
