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 -- --------------------- Cyrus Yunker cyrus_yunker@ncsu.edu BAE Dept. @ NC State --------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
