opensmtpd faq commands

[Daniel Jakots]

Hi,

When following the example from the OpenSMTPD faq [0], first thing is to
create a new user with:

useradd -g =uid -c "Virtual Mail" -d /var/vmail -s /sbin/nologin vmail

which raises
  warnx("Warning: home directory `%s' doesn't exist, and -m was"
  " not specified", home);

I don't think giving a command that produces a warning is a good thing
in an official documentation. Also solving this problem make other
commands useless so it's a bit shorter.
