Some ports require a certain user to be on the installed
system. Choose a free UID from 50 to 999 and register it
either in ports/UIDs (for users) or in
ports/GIDs (for groups). Make sure you
do not use a UID already used by the system or other
ports.
Please include a patch against these two files when you require a new user or group to be created for your port.
Then you can use USERS and
GROUPS variables in your
Makefile, and the user will be
automatically created when installing the port.
USERS= pulse GROUPS= pulse pulse-access pulse-rt
The current list of reserved UIDs and GIDs can be found
in ports/UIDs and
ports/GIDs.
