Description k.j.koster 2002-02-14 14:20:01 UTC 
FreeBSD has recently introduced a default www user and group> I think Orion and
Tomcat should default to using that user ID.

Comment 2 Ernst de Haan 2002-02-20 08:18:12 UTC 
When was this 'www' user/group exactly introduced? Is there a link to more 
documentation on this? I should either check the OSVERSION or see if there 
already exists a 'www' user/group using /sbin/pw. Or both.

I think you should just check for a preexisting www user. If it's there use
it, otherwise make an orion one or (my preference) create a www user.

What is the user ID and the group ID of those new www users? I'm upgrading to 
4.5-STABLE now, to see for myself...

Fixed this for www/orion. This was already fixed for 
www/jakarta-tomcat.

Fixed. Next time please send 2 separate PRs, so I can close one at a time :)

But hey, I should not complain, I claim to love feedback and critisism. ;-)
