Hi! Sorry I did not get around tio wirk on this - I;m still trying to find out why my VMware installation hangs even before the BIOS screen. I have no hard GFreeBSD hosts left.

Look at japanese/Wnn6 for an example. AFAIK, there is no reason for either munin-* port to need a fixed UID or GID.

Hello, Munin is a monitoring software, means it often be installed into YP/NIS envirnoment servers. The original method will choose minimum available UID/GID at install time, this may cause UID/GID collision in early-deployed server. That's why I think we should use fixed UID/GID in munin-*.
