Hi, I believe I may have come across a potential bug in pkg_add, but wanted to write my findings out to see if anyone has seen this issue, or knows of something I may be doing wrong. I wrote a port that uses USERS/GROUPS functionality of ports. USERS= user GROUPS= user_work BINOWN= user BINGRP= user_work BINMODE= 4110 These are the exec lines in my +CONTENTS file (assume one line for each exec, they were wrapped): @exec if ! /usr/sbin/pw groupshow user_work >/dev/null 2>&1; then /usr/sbin/pw groupadd user_work -g 999; fi @exec if ! /usr/sbin/pw usershow user >/dev/null 2>&1; then /usr/sbin/pw useradd user -u 999 -g 999 -c "user" -d /home/user -s /usr/sbin/nologin; fi I found that on my desktop with a ports tree installed that this port and package installed with no issue, however I found that if I tried to install the package in a jail with no ports tree and nothing installed that it failed with this error: pw: group `999' does not exist pkg_add: command 'if ! /usr/sbin/pw usershow user >/dev/null 2>&1; then /usr/sbin/pw useradd user -u 999 -g 999 -c "user" -d /home/user -s /usr/sbin/nologin; fi' failed I removed all remnants of the installation (these packages were all successful builds in Tinderbox), including installed users/groups. I copied my UIDs and GIDs files to an empty /usr/ports directory. So the only files under /usr/ports were UIDs and GIDs. With these files in place, I reran the pkg_add command on the port package I created and it installed the user and group with no issue, with correct permissions and modes on the files. With this testing, it appears that pkg_add is looking at /usr/ports/UIDs and /usr/ports/GIDs for information on installing a port package, even-though all of the information required for an installation appears to be in my port package. Has anyone run into this issue? Any assumptions I am making? Any flawed logic in testing? Thanks, Jason
