There should be a warning just after running make install about the user being created and that you need to remove the user yourself if you remove the port. >How-To-Repeat: Install the port, and check vipw. You will see a new user called "ftp". >Fix: Just add a warning after installation about the user that was created. A warning similar to the warnings about the addition of /usr/local/etc/rc.d scripts would be good enough. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
