Hello!

Sorry for my bad English!

About problem:
I have been installing the PostGreSQL of 'port-current'. All were being
right until the execution of 'createuser'. This script didn't create the
pgsql user. I had found the error! This script (createuser) is written 
not correct!

My Platform is:
FreeBSD 2.2.6
/usr/bin/perl is version of 5.004 (i had replaced this binary from 4.0
to 5.003 version by manual)

Following line is in script:
system( "/usr/bin/chpass -a \"pgsql:*:$pgUID:$pgGID::0:0:PostgreSQL
pseudo-user:$ENV{'PREFIX'}/pgsql:/bin/sh\"" );

I am having the error:
chpass: corrupted entry

The interpretation of string believes that "$pgGID::0" is member-data
and the "$pgGID::0" will not be printed. I have the perl of version
5.004 by path /usr/bin/perl (standart version is 4.0 in FreeBSD). I
would like to suggest a simple solution:
To replace this string to following string:

system( "/usr/bin/chpass -a \"pgsql:*:$pgUID:$pgGID\:\:0:0:PostgreSQL
pseudo-user:$ENV{'PREFIX'}/pgsql:/bin/sh\"" );

Same script is located in /usr/ports/databases/msql. May be should it be
changed too?
