* From: Tim Vanderhoek <vanderh@ecf.utoronto.ca> * differences are 1) entries in inetd.conf are sample entries only, 2) * ports have no way of adding those entries to inetd.conf themselves * (since touching /etc is illegal). Uh, you're contradicting yourself. Touching /etc is not illegal. * 2) The current system for having ports add their own usernames and * groupnames is very simple. It is a little messy in that there are a * number of different pkg/INSTALL scripts, some of them broken to * various degrees. Simply adding an mta username:groupname won't solve * that problem. Besides those that add uid/gids, most shell ports add entries to /etc/shells. Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
