Description
For example...
DEBUG: Executing com.apple.configure (exim) niutil: can't create directory /users/exim: Permission denied Error: Target com.apple.configure returned: shell command "niutil -create . /users/exim" returned error 104 Command output: niutil: can't create directory /users/exim: Permission denied
permissions are down to the fact I wasn't root but on OS X the directory surely shouldn't be /users/ exim (with lowercase u... some people have case sensitive fs...)
Also, I think dports app users like exim and so on should have homedirs in prefix e.g. $prefix/var/ home/exim? or something...

The command is actually not setting a home directory attribute but simply trying to create the exim user. This is the /users/exim "directory" inside the NetInfo database, not in your filesystem.
