Proposal: Add generic username for 3rd-party MTA's

[Sheldon Hearn]

Hi folks,

I plan to add a user ``smtp'' with UID 25 and a member of group
``mail'', for use in running non-priveledged MTA's in FreeBSD. This is
primarily for the convenience of maintainers of mail ports.

The last time I brought this up, my request was blown away in a flurry
of arguments against incorporating other MTA's into the base system.

        !!!     DON'T GO THERE  !!!

This has nothing to do with what's in the base system. This has to do
with making it easier for people to run 3rd-party software, which isn't
part of the base system, in a non-priveledged state.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
