Greetings!

Forgive me my silly question, may be it's just a typo in pkg-install that
mesleads me.

Q:What's the purpose of adding user daemon to the group cyrus?

In any case, the error message in pkg-install says it

    can't add user ${USER} to group ${GROUP}

(expanded, can't add user "cyrus" to group "cyrus"). The command it executes
is:

    ${PW} group mod ${USER} -m daemon

As I understand, it adds the user daemon to group ${USER} (which is
"cyrus").

This is also confusing, I would suggest then to add daemon to the group
${GROUP} (instead of ${USER}), if that makes sense at all.

Best wishes,
Mike Boev.
