Description

Hello,

the attached patch makes creation of /var/mail/username files for new accounts
a bit more configurable. Since I only use maildirs for mail storage, now I
don't have to remove those files when adding new users :-)

Am I reading this correctly and it does that by default?

The default behaviour hasn't changed, pw(8) do creates those files:

  1. cat /etc/pw.conf
  2. pw useradd testuser -m
  3. ls l /var/mail/testuser
    -rw------
    1 testuser testuser 0 Mar 19 21:45 /var/mail/testuser
  4. pw userdel testuser -r
  5. ls -l /var/mail/testuser
    ls: /var/mail/testuser: No such file or directory
  6. printf "createmailbox\tno\n" >> /etc/pw.conf
  7. pw useradd testuser -m
  8. ls -l /var/mail/testuser
    ls: /var/mail/testuser: No such file or directory

OK, thanks for clarifying this.

As far as I can see, this adds the option to pw(8) to create mailboxes or not.
Does anyone consider this addition appropiate? If yes, please commit.

I don't think this is necessary.
