stupid question (perhaps), but what in the base system uses group 'news' in the first place? If 'news' is only the legacy group for a UseNet news system (what I assume), then it imho makes much sense to use it instead of _inn. OTOH having a group '_inn' helps separating applications... oh well. > This should be done in the PLIST.

It has been some time ago that I last used with UUCP, so I'm no longer intimate with it's requirements and interactions with INN. So I guess this has to wait. Btw, you seem to be much more knowledgable about INN than I am, so I guess that you should be the maintainer of this port. Right? Any objections? > Some other notes: > - I don't think there's a reason for flavors no_ssl and no_perl, since > those are in the base system and allways available. I agree that these are always available, but created a flavour because these were not in the base INN configuration system. OTOH, Perl seems almost required, and SSL is nice to have, too. > - The build differs depending on wether wget and/or uucp are installed > or not, so you may want to add those as dependencies.

I already thought about the UUCP thingy, but was unaware of the wget issue. > @newuser _inn:565:news:daemon:InterNetNews:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin So, for you the port works with these values for home and shell? Thank you for the updated PLIST! I'll try to merge it these days. Best, --Toni++
