ok, so I run "/usr/sbin/pw user show prosody ; echo $?" and I get the same error you do on your system with no user. When I look at /etc/passwd, the prosody user is there: prosody:*:242:1:Prosody XMPP Server:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin Also, when I try to remove the prosody user, it fails: # pw userdel -n prosody pw: no such user `prosody' _______________________________________________ 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"
