Hmmm, that might indeed be a problem if this user ID is already taken by another account on the user's system; I'll see if I can work something out on the autodetection front, but my advice to Nikolay would be to pick another user ID and register it in the ports/UIDs file, at least for the benefit for people who have not yet installed openfire and shall do so for the first time in the future :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key:http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 This sentence would be seven words long if it were six words shorter. pgpoLDl19Fp2M.pgp Description: PGP signature

Change uid/gid in net-im/openfire/pkg-install.

Actually, that's old hat. The current standard is that you should pick an otherwise unused UID (and/or GID) from /usr/ports/UIDs and register that as belonging to your port. Submit a maintainer update with patches to UIDs and GIDs plus modifications to the way the port is installed so that it uses the allocated numbers, and you're golden. If another port has a UID clash with yours and you have established rights by registering the uid in this way, then you can insist that the other port is changed to not clash with yours.

Hello all. I am a maintainer of the net-im/openfire port. I have a report from Dmitri Frolov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> that openfire uses the same uid as security/stunnel port. Could someone please suggest me as how i can resolve this situation? P.S.
