My thought is to borrow from what you've done, but do like David and Merle suggested and store the following in fink.conf: AutoUid: boolean AutoUidBase: integer, default 600 AutoUidMax: integer, default 699 FinkBldUid: the UID FinkBldGid: the GID AutoUid, FinkBldUid, and FinkBldGid would get set via "fink configure". Networked folks would set AutoUid: false via a prompt, and FinkBldUid and FinkBldGid would either be autogenerated, use an existing value (left over from passwd-fink-bld) or have values set explicitly, depending on what the user wants. (AutoUidBase and AutoUidMax wouldn't be set by prompts, but would be changed via manually editing fink.conf). When fink is invoked for a build, it will check whether the fink-bld user exists. If not, it will be created using these parameters from fink.conf. If the UID and GID from fink.conf are different than those in Directory Services, fink-bld will be updated to match fink.conf. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/got-job/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
