Hi Yarema, > to bring them all in sync. Changes include adding user 'bind' UID 53 to > the top of the list, adding user 'courier' and sorting the list by UID so > that future UID duplication is easier to avoid. User 'bind' UID 53 already > exists in /usr/src/etc/master.passwd and this section documents UIDs 50 > through 999. So user 'bind' clearly needs to be documented here. > > Of interest to the mail/sendmail port is that I removed: > > smmsp:*:90:90:Sendmail Queue:/nonexistent:/nonexistent > > since user 'smmsp' already exists as UID 25 in /usr/src/etc/master.passwd -- > patching the mail/sendmail port to use UID 25 instad of 90 makes more sense > (to me at least). 1) The sendmail port uses an already existiting UID/GID and does not remove it. 2) It may violate POLA to make the sendmail port create this UID/GID on older FreeBSD-Systems with 25 instead of 90. kind regards Dirk - Dirk Meyer, Im Grund 4, 34317 Habichtswald, Germany
