>Description:
The port of sympa (mail/sympa) creates a user account and group, sympa/sympa, for the Sympa system to run under. However, the port creates a user with a uid/gid of 1025, not with a uid normally reserved in the "system account" space (uid/gid <1000). This can be annoying to systems set up with user account managers that do not use pw and /etc/master.password, and are shared across multiple servers (e.g. LDAP).

It would be better if the sympa user was created using an explicit "system account" uid/gid, such as uid/gid 200 (which doesn't seem to be used by any port that I know of).

>How-To-Repeat:
Load a fresh FreeBSD box. Create a few normal user accounts (e.g. ones that are auto-assigned uid's, incrementing starting from uid 1000).

Install mail/sympa somewhere along the line.

pw usershow sympa and pw groupshow sympa. The assigned uid/gid is 1025, which is in normal user account uid/gid space.
      
>Fix:
Explicitly assign uid/gid 200 to sympa. This would also update Sect. 17.12 of the Porter's Handbook.
