Adding users

The package I'm creating requires users to be already created during the make install, which kinda sucks because I have the users being created in the .install file, where they should be.  Is there a correct way to do this?

Re: Adding users

I'm not sure, but I think if you do it in pre_install instead of post_install in the install file it should work, no?

checkout the MTA packages or lighttpd for a blueprint.
