Forgive me my silly question, may be it's just a typo in pkg-install that mesleads me. Q:What's the purpose of adding user daemon to the group cyrus? In any case, the error message in pkg-install says it can't add user ${USER} to group ${GROUP} (expanded, can't add user "cyrus" to group "cyrus"). The command it executes is: ${PW} group mod ${USER} -m daemon As I understand, it adds the user daemon to group ${USER} (which is "cyrus"). This is also confusing, I would suggest then to add daemon to the group ${GROUP} (instead of ${USER}), if that makes sense at all. PS: I've posted this question a couple weeks ago, but got no response. Sorry for doing this again. Best wishes, Mike Boev.
