 * Technically, it's "has to change user news".  It needs to set the path for
 * the user, and account for people who may have removed and/or changed the
 * path and shell of that user.

It seems to me that you are doing it all from a script (my passwd file 
now says news is "The Diablo News System"). ;)

What you should probably do is change this to pkg/REQ or something so
package users can use it too.  I recommend you add a question at the
beginning about changing the environment of user news.  Please
condition it on "BATCH" being defined and pass ${SCRIPTS_ENV} to it
when you call it from pre-install (see bsd.port.mk).
