This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig42CD072CC8C9642BF9B2162F Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Is there any reason why the nagios user/group isn't using a standardized UID/GID from /usr/ports/{U,G}IDs these days? It's been best practice for port maintainers some time to do this, and it's biting me in the arse at the moment as I roll out nagios2 (and nrpe2). I don't wan't to pick a a number that will a) be used by a future registration or b) a large number that adduser will work around. And count me as another person who would like to see the nrpe2 port check for the nagios user/group and add them to the system if needed. Seeing a process run as user -1 is just wrong... :( Best Wishes - Peter --=20 Peter_Losher@isc.org | ISC | OpenPGP 0xE8048D08 | "The bits must flow" --------------enig42CD072CC8C9642BF9B2162F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (Darwin) iD8DBQFFineUPtVx9OgEjQgRAmczAKCFoARtZpipbEHORDLOV2KaH3vMhQCgqr0o SVoIiwy8TcwW4V115Avh3oU= =gGRB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig42CD072CC8C9642BF9B2162F--
