I do like this idea, but with respects to such; storing when it was created and what created it like "www/apache22" might be a little more useful to narrow these down. But if a port can install a user there is no reason that it can not uninstall a user via pw(8) that is available from bsd.commands.mk after checking a recorded md5(1) sum that it could create upon installation for the output of pw usershow/groupshow UID/GID. -- jhell _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
