This is starting to get annoying.  Hardcoding something in to the base
system that's not used by *anything* in the base system is a mistake.

Sometime over the weekend I'm going to remove the www user/group, and the=
=20
pop one, and teach the POP related ports how to add a user at install time.
While I'm there I'll dike out the xten user as well, which seems to be
of little use to man or beast.  I'll modify any ports that use that as
well.

If I'm feeling particularly energetic these could be variables in one of
the ports .mk files.  Probably variables per 'user' -- taking the form
USER_<system>, UID_<system>, GROUP_<system>, GID_<system>, where
<system> is one of WWW, XTEN, POP3, ....

Don't bother with the MFC.
