This is sensible, given that pgsql's home dir has a .profile in it. If you do a make package, then a make deinstall, then delete the pgsql user, then install the package, the pgsql user will be created with the shell /sbin/nologin, which (so far as I can tell) makes the rc.d scripts break, among other things. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: In files/pgsql.sh.tmpl, change /sbin/nologin to /bin/sh. The alternative, I believe, is a lot more trouble than it's worth (it means fixing the rc.d script, the make install, getting rid of the .profile, etc, etc, etc). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
