Hello maillist,
I've planned porting some software to FreeBSD and currently generate Makefile
for ports. My application required presence of some account in system.
I've see many sample from current ports like "squid, cacti, avahi, mysql,
pgsql, cups, distcc..." and many-many-many, they are using equally
construction like:
---
if ${PW} user show "${USER}" 2>/dev/null; then
echo "You already have a user \"${USER}\", so I will use it."
else
if ${PW} useradd ${USER} -u ${UID} -g ${GROUP} -h - \
-d "/nonexistent" -s /usr/sbin/nologin -c "User user"
then
echo "Added user \"${USER}\"."
else
echo "Adding user \"${USER}\" failed..."
exit 1
fi
fi
---
My question - why do not make this facility by generic (for example create
add/del/check-existence procedure in some /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.users.mk file) ?
Thanks
