Hello, I am not sure how big a problem this is, but it appears, the adduser and addgroup functions in MacPorts do not clean up after themselves in the even of some port install error.

Is this expected behavior?

I'm not sure. What do you mean by "do not clean up after themselves"?

As far as I am finding, on error, the user and group are still there, I will also check of on uninstall, the user and group get removed. Though that may not be the right thing to do is files are left around.

I don't recall many programs that do remove users when they are uninstalled. It's a good questions though.

Please share the answer when you find out.

Do you know if you can specify a uid and gid in a Portfile?

And is there an accessible var holding uid and gid? Using the port commands to create them that is.
