#41039: Installing MacPorts on Mavericks Renames "staff" Group To "macports" ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: roberthuston@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Keywords: | Port: ----------------------------+-------------------------------- After upgrading to Mavericks, I installed MacPorts 2.2.1 using the "Mavericks" version of the installer. Today, when doing an "ls -l" in Terminal, I noticed that my default user group now says "macports" instead of "staff." However, when I look at the gid that is allocated to the "macports" group, it is indeed the value 20 that is normally associated with "staff." Somehow the MacPorts installation has hijacked the "staff" name. How can I get it restored to its proper name? A listing of my /etc/group file still has staff:*:20:root as one of the entries, and there are no "macports" entries. So where is this remapping of the "staff" into "macports" happening? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41039> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
