Is there any reason why the nagios user/group isn't using a

for port maintainers some time to do this, and it's biting me in the
arse at the moment as I roll out nagios2 (and nrpe2).
I don't wan't to pick a a number that will a) be used by a future
registration or b) a large number that adduser will work around.
And count me as another person who would like to see the nrpe2 port
check for the nagios user/group and add them to the system if needed.
Seeing a process run as user -1 is just wrong... :(
Port Hat wearers,
I am in the process of setting consistent [UG]ID's for the nagios
related ports (being reminded by Peter that is) and it has been
pointed out that NRPE2 (net-mgmt/nrpe2) is now maintainer'less.
Being the maintainer of both nagios and nagios-plugins, I would be
more than happy to take on maintainer'ship of this port and mold it
into a seamless extension of the Nagios suite. If your happy with
the idea, the email address used here or on the ports is fine.
Cheers.
Jarrod.
