The pkg-install script should be detecting the user, what does the following command show? /usr/sbin/pw user show prosody ; echo $? On my system with no prosody user it returns with: pw: no such user `prosody` 67 It should return with a value of zero, when the port is installed: # /usr/sbin/pw user show prosody ; echo $? prosody:*:242:1::0:0:Prosody XMMP Server:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin 0 I have tried installing/deinstalling/re-installing the port, and don't get the prosody user already exists error. -- DISCLAIMER: No electrons were maimed while sending this message.
