  Log:
  Inconsistent format of lines in /usr/ports/UIDs
  
          I notice that a few of the entries in /usr/ports/UIDs are formatted
          like lines from /etc/master.passwd, whilst the majority look like
          lines from /etc/passwd -- ie. without the 'class', 'change' and
          'expire' fields.  'change' and 'expire' are not particularly useful
          for these sort of passwordless pseudo-user accounts, but I can see
          where being able to assign a UID to a login class would be handy.
  
          However, none of the entries in /usr/ports/UIDs make any attempt to
          assign the UID to anything other than the default class and none of
          them have any capability I can see to eg. limit system resource usage
          So I guess there's no need for login class information in
          /usr/ports/UIDs
