Comment # 1 on bug 974 from Nathan Scott

On upgrade, I don't think there's any way to distinguish between a pcp user
created by an earlier pcp rpm install and one created by an admin.

Personally, I think we do the best we can given the packaging tools available -
and we also do the same thing that other packages in the same boat are doing.

And the PCP_USER does allow overriding this, so I'm not sure there's really a
whole lot of improvement that can happen here ... do you have anything further
in mind Ken?

re the PCP_GROUP setting, we currently do a getpwent(3) lookup on the PCP_USER
account, and take the uid and gid settings from there ... again, this seems
like a pretty good option to me, and not clear that further complicating things
with additional configuration options is a win.

cheers.
