Hi,

I have a problem when installing packages which requires
addittions of users/groups, defs.FreeBSD.mk contains that:

.if exists(/usr/sbin/user)
USERADD?=       /usr/sbin/useradd
GROUPADD?=      /usr/sbin/groupadd
.else
USERADD?=       ${LOCALBASE}/sbin/useradd
GROUPADD?=      ${LOCALBASE}/sbin/groupadd
.if defined(USE_USERADD) || defined(USE_GROUPADD)
DEPENDS+=       user>=20000313:../../sysutils/user
.endif          
.endif

Naturally, /usr/sbin/user doesn't exists, so it tries to install the user
package located in sysutils, but looking at this Makefile:

sysutils/user/Makefile:

ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM=      NetBSD-*-* # already in Solaris base system

Heh, we can't install the user package.

Instead I suggest to change the {USER,GROUP}ADD variables to use the
pw(8) utility from FreeBSD.
