>Description:
When installing port net/isc-dhcp3-server, a user (with a dynamic UID) gets
created on installation, which in my opinion is incorrect. The expected behavior
is to reserve a UID/GID for the dhcpd in ${PORTSDIR}/{U,G}IDs files.
>How-To-Repeat:
Execute following on a root shell:
# make -C /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp3-server config install
In the above command make sure DHCP_PARANOIA config option is set. And now do:
# getent passwd dhcpd
dhcpd:*:1002:1002:DHCP Daemon:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin
If you get UID, and GID > 1000, then this is problem.
