I'm updating the port and at the same time making some changes to the rc.d start up script.
I have added the option to change the user that zetacoind runs as:


: ${zetacoin_user="root"}
: ${zetacoin_group="wheel"}


zetacoin_create_datadir()
{
    echo "Creating data directory"
    eval mkdir -p ${zetacoin_datadir}
[ $? -eq 0 ] && chown -R ${zetacoin_user}:${zetacoin_group} ${zetacoin_datadir}
    ln -s ${zetacoin_datadir} /.zetacoin
}




I'm not sure if I should leave it defaulting to root/wheel or have the port create a "zetacoin" user and group and have it use that to begin with.

Should I just let the end user make that decision?

The problem I see with defaulting to a "zetacoin" user is that existing installations will need to manually change the owner and group of the data directory.

Thoughts?
