* I'm pretty sure this means I can use uucp UID, or daemon UID/dialer GID. * I'm favoring the second, but I want to make sure this works within the * greater scheme of things. Which UID or UID/GID combination is best for a * daemon process that forks copies of itself to open modems? I think that's the job of "dialer" group. * The second question is, I need to feed the UID, and GID if used, to the * Makefile. Do I assume that all FreeBSD systems have the same IDs for what * I have selected, or is there a way to extract this in the Makefile. I * thought I had seen this discussed here before, but I couldnt' find it in * the archives. Well, user/group "uucp" and group "dialer" are parts of the standard installation, so I think you can assume they are fixed. Satoshi
