Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the place to be directing my concern so I
apologize if I am bothersome. I emailed the maintainer and received no
response. I've posted to freebsddiary.org's forums and have received no
response.
I have a user named cyrus on my freebsd 4.7 machine. I wanted to install
the Cyrus IMAP daemon, and Cyrus SASL comes with. Well upon the
portinstall I lost my regular user. pw just overwrote /etc/password with
another shell, homedir, etc. for that user. He could no longer log in
(this is me, my regular user - I got in as root.)
Anyway I'm not sure I think this behaviour is appropriate. No warning was
issued, the user was just changed.
How can I have a user named "cyrus" and get this wonderful SASL/IMAP thing
going as well? I'm not feeling brave enough to mess around with the
makefile because cyrus is a reserved UID in the porter's handbook.
Much thanks,
Cyrus
