The discussion about this took place on -current before I did the commit. "_" is a legal character in an user/groupname. Many people also stated that they prefer "_<service>" as it makes things clear. I personally have no strong opinion one way or the other, but it's noteable less work (for me) when the username is the same as in OpenBSD. I don't see how "_pflogd" is less understandable than "pflogd" and neither do I see any complication. -- Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBA4v0AXyyEoT62BG0RAgDWAJ4234GMbuCKGHjFanfDlllB84dr9QCfSlFr d9UJpRHSxS73+pkZ79fzNyM= =GXUb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
