html lists a number of UID's used by certain ports in the system.

UID 89 is listed as:

vpopmail:*:89:89::0:0:User &:/usr/local/vpopmail:/nonexistent

However, the very popular mailman port also uses this same UID 89:

From the makefile at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/mail/mailman/Makefile?rev=1.
19&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

USERNAME?=	mailman
USERID?=	89

Just thought I'd let you know, since probably more users will see UID 89
as user mailman than they will see as user vpopmail.

--Lucky, who wonders why the two are reserving the same UID.
