Hello, I am working on trying to make a change to a port that does
not have user and group adding abilities, but it probably should.
At this point, I need to confirm this by adding a user and group by
hand, using dscl in Mac OS X 10.5
The port should use the adduser/addgroup commands (see 'man portfile')
Yes, thanks, eventually I will use those commands, though for the time
being, I need to test that it works in this way, to be sure I am even
on the right track.
I took this from some old docs on dovecot:
sudo dscl . -create /Groups/_ftpg
sudo dscl . -create /Groups/_ftpg UniqueID 490
sudo dscl . -create /Users/_ftpu
sudo dscl . -create /Users/_ftpu UserShell /usr/bin/false
sudo dscl . -create /Users/_ftpu RealName "PureFTPd FTP Server"
sudo dscl . -create /Users/_ftpu UniqueID 490
sudo dscl . -create /Users/_ftpu PrimaryGroupID 490
sudo dscl . -create /Users/_ftpu NFSHomeDirectory /var/empty
This sort of works. In this case, the ftpd has a flag to "auto
create home dirs", which I have enabled. I have told the ftpd to
use user and group 490. On first ftp login, it will create the
directory I tell it to:
drwxr-x--- 2 _ftpu 490 68 Sep 17 18:42 someplace
As you can see, there is something wrong with the group.
You didn't set PrimaryGroupID
Thank you, that did the trick.
$sudo chgrp _ftpg someplace/
drwxr-x--- 2 _ftpu nobody 68 Sep 17 18:42 someplace
I think what I would really like to do is also create a user and
group more like www and mysql, where they have both the _foo and
foo version, but I can not figure this out.
why? I don't think you want/need to have the user be 'special' in
this way.
Any idea what the significance of the _user and _group is?
