Ew. Removing a system user and/or group automatically in a package should never be done, for various reasons. One of them is that you can never be sure there are no files left on any volume, maybe even an unmounted one or something, that will on next addition of a user suddenly be owned by a random other user, with all kind of bad implications. Not to mention what happens if the system administrator himself has either added the zope user, or started using it for other zope-related stuff too. I note that zope removes the zope user & group unconditionally in purge, without any checks. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
