macports user ...

[Peter Danecek]

Hi all,

I have some doubt about the the user macports and how it is used exactly. From what I understood most operations when installing MacPorts are performed as macports user, files belong to macports user etc.

Now I am trying to setup some new port and would need to do some manual testing, i.e. do some operation as macports user. I tried to su to macports user, but this would not work. Any trick how this should be done?

Thanks!
