MacPorts is hijacking account on MacOSXServer

[David L Ballenger]

Okay,  that worked. 

I deleted the previously created macports user and group and did a Subversion install.  This time the user's UniqueID was the first unused ID above 500 instead of above the highest in-use UniqueID. On my laptop that is an Open Directory  network/mobile account with a UniqueID of 1025 and previously macports had been created with a UniqueID of 1026 which collided with other Open Directory accounts.

Thanks - David
