related questions: 1. How do I add the user to wheel (has it's own group but needs to be in wheel for reason number #2)? 2. How do I modify (in the safest possible way) an other port's installed config file(s) (namely I need to in the case of this port modify /usr/local/etc/sudoers to allow the no password option for wheel members)? Since the account's shell that is created is a custom shell for the port there is no security wholes we know about.. even so what kind of (if any) security warnings should we put on the port?
