Fink's passwd package says the following to users during installation: > 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.
Now the problem with this is, if someone has added the appropriate users and groups manually, they can't tell the relevant fink packages that these users and groups are there. So do we need a system-passwd package, which "Provides: passwd", and which simply tells that user that they better have those users/groups installed if they are going to install the appropriate fink pkgs? The context: there is a post on fink-beginners from someone who installed postfix manually (including a "postfix" user)... She should certainly be told to not install the passwd package, but then if she ever wanted to install fink packages which depend on the passwd package, she would unable to do so. -- Dave _______________________________________________________________ Hundreds of nodes, one monster rendering program.
