The following reply was made to PR ports/108339; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Peter Thoenen <peter.thoenen@yahoo.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/108339: [fix] security/tor and security/tor-devel use pre-install instead of pre-su-install Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 09:15:03 -0800 (PST) I was both unaware a pre-su-install stage existed OR that normal users could install ports period (via make install in the ports tree). Regardless installing the tor port as a non-su user will break the port period as it installs both a _tor user and _tor group. If the reporter wishes to be able to install this port as a normal user AND the committers don't find this to be a security issue, the the orginal PR submitter needs to provide a patch that will account for this (e.g. with some custom make options that modify things like pkg-install so _tor users don't get installed, chown issues, etc etc). Or just download and install it manually ... gmake && gmake install
