>Description:

	When you try changing the home directory of an account 
	with "pw usermod -d ...", the home directory is *not* 
	changed. This used to work in earlier 4-STABLEs.

>How-To-Repeat:

	root@bagheera# pw usershow mb
	mb:*:1001:1001::0:0:Martin Butkus:/home/mb:/usr/local/bin/zsh

	root@bagheera# pw usermod -n mb -d /

	root@bagheera# pw usershow mb
	mb:*:1001:1001::0:0:Martin Butkus:/home/mb:/usr/local/bin/zsh

	root@bagheera# grep "^mb:" /etc/passwd 
	mb:*:1001:1001:Martin Butkus:/home/mb:/usr/local/bin/zsh

>Fix:

	None known, sorry.
