Hello ports, Apologies for removing the context, I joined the ports list recently and do not have stsp's original mail.
I may be wrong here, but I was wondering whether we could change the home of the _svnserve user to /var/svn from the current /nonexistent. In other words, could we change from @newuser _svnserve:777:_svnserve:daemon:SVN Daemon:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin to @newuser _svnserve:777:_svnserve:daemon:SVN Daemon:/var/svn:/sbin/nologin The idea is that post installation, one has to change the owner of the /var/svn/reponame directory to _svnserve anyways. Steps: $ doas pkg_add subversion $ cd /var $ doas mkdir svn $ cd /var/svn $ doas svnadmin create reponame $ doas chown -R _svnserve:_svnserve /var/svn/reponame $ doas mkdir log $ doas chown -R _svnserve:_svnserve /var/svn/log For more context, could I please refer you to my recent mail on misc - https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=154221094309572&w=2. In case I am missing something or doing something stupid, please feel free to point it out. Thanks. Regards, ab ---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|--
