New to MacPorts, stumped

Sat Aug 10 14:53:57 UTC 2019

Two separate problems there:
bigapple:~ root# port contents unbound|head
Port unbound contains:
  /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.unbound.plist
  /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.unbound/org.macports.unbound.plist
  /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.unbound/unbound.wrapper
...

(Often, MacPorts startups operate via a wrapper that tries to reconcile the different behavior of daemons written for other Unix/Linux flavors with the expectation of launchd that programs must not background themselves, close and reopen stdin, stdout, and stderr, etc; so don't be surprised if that's a bit hard to follow.  I haven't always found the wrapper to be the best solution, but it usually works.)

As for the permissions, I didn't have that problem:

bigapple:~ root# find /opt/local \( -user unbound -o -group unbound \) -ls
180058793        0 drwxrwxr-x    4 root             unbound               128 Aug 10 10:20 /opt/local/etc/unbound
180058801        8 -rw-r--r--    1 unbound          unbound               758 Aug 10 10:20 /opt/local/etc/unbound/root.key
180058794        0 drwxr-xr-x    3 unbound          unbound                96 Aug 10 10:20 /opt/local/var/run/unbound
180058765        0 -rw-r--r--    1 unbound          unbound                 0 Jun 17 09:38 /opt/local/var/run/unbound/unbound.pid

but I have sometimes seen MacPorts set some of the groups on some of its files oddly (but using a group-id it created for one port or another).  I haven't seen that recently, and don't remember the port or the details, so I can't say what the cause is or how to get it fixed.  I don't recall it messing those up for files outside /opt/local, so I wouldn't worry _too_ much, although IMO it's not right.

If you're curious about users or groups created, you can list them with

dscl . -list /Users
or
dscl . -list /Groups

and get specifics with
dscl . -read /Users/unbound
or
dscl . -read /Groups/unbound

etc.  Or use the GUI: System Preferences -> Users&Groups; unlock, click Login Options, click Join, click Open Directory Utility..., click Directory Editor.  Select Users or Groups, find the one you're interested in on the list, click on it, etc.  Just be careful and don't change anything by accident.  If it shows a lock symbol and "Not Authenticated", it probably won't let you anyway until you do that.

I want the new server still to run Server.app for DNS, device management, profile management, Open Directory (required for some other stuff) so I will be adding MacPorts mail & web (could be difficult as there already is an Apache server for profile manager and device manager) to a macOS Mojave Server.
