I copied the entry from my existing good installation. However, the current passwd does not install a games user, just a games group. The following package will be reinstalled: passwd dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/base/passwd_20031026-1_darwin-powerpc.deb (Reading database ... 32471 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace passwd 20031026-1 (using .../passwd_20031026-1_darwin-powerpc.deb) ... Unpacking replacement passwd ... Setting up passwd (20031026-1) ... The following user entries will be added to your NetInfo database: lp:*:26:26::0:0:Printing Services:/var/spool/cups:/dev/null postfix:*:27:27::0:0:postfix:/var/spool/postfix:/bin/false eppc:*:71:71::0:0:Apple Events User:/var/empty:/usr/bin/false qtss:*:76:76::0:0:QuickTime Streaming Server:/var/empty:/usr/bin/false cyrus:*:77:6::0:0:Cyrus User:/var/imap:/usr/bin/false mailman:*:78:78::0:0:Mailman user:/var/empty:/usr/bin/false appserver:*:79:79::0:0:Application Server:/var/empty:/usr/bin/false news:*:250:250::0:0:News Server:/dev/null:/dev/null postgres:*:252:252::0:0:PostgreSQL Database Server:/dev/null:/dev/null The following group entries will be added to your NetInfo database: lp:*:26: postfix:*:27: postdrop:*:28: qtss:*:76: mailman:*:78: news:*:250: postgres:*:252:postgres games:*:253: canna:*:254: maildrop:*:256: Existing entries with these names or numbers will be overwritten or otherwise affected by this. On the other hand, some Fink packages will not work unless these entries are in the NetInfo database. You can make adjustments to the files /sw/etc/passwd-fink and /sw/etc/group-fink now (from another window), then say yes here. Or you can say no here and add the users and groups manually (e.g. on your central NetInfo server). If you don't know what all of this is about, just say yes. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y Merging user info... Merging group info... Done. Both that and the sawfish install bug, along with the annoying OMF scrollkeeper messages, seem to be bugs in the current packages. -- Jason Lamb <mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
