I'm not completely sure when this started to happen. I get mail from daily cron run with content: "user 'ntp': directory '/var/empty' does not exist". Looks like the openntpd install creates that user and sets /var/empty as it's home directory which indeed does not exist. Running "pwck -r" produces the same output.

openntpd-3.9p1-9
shadow-4.1.4.2-1

Steps to reproduce:

1) Run pwck -r
