 Module Name:	pkgsrc
 Committed By:	jlam

 Modified Files:
 	pkgsrc/mk/install: bsd.pkginstall.mk usergroup
 Added Files:
 	pkgsrc/mk/install: usergroupfuncs
 
 Log Message:
 Allow platform-specific overrides for creating new users and groups.
 There is a default implementation of the shell functions adduser()
 and addgroup() used by the +USERGROUP script that uses NetBSD/Solaris-style
 useradd(8) and groupadd(8) commands.  A platform may override those
 functions by creating pkgsrc/mk/install/usergroupfuncs.${OPSYS}.  This
 fixes PR pkg/23061.
