            Bug ID: 296802
           Summary: adduser(8) offers ZFS encryption, but not a word on
                    how to make that work in practice ?
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

adduser(8) no offers to encrypt a ZFS homedir and asks for the passphrase for
doing that.

The man-page does not mention that with a single word, and I find neither
documentation nor any traces of code to make that actually work in practice ?

Is login supposed to spot this and ask for the necessary passphrase or how is
this supposed to work ?
