	qpage 3.3 port, FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p2 or 5.2-RELEASE-p2

>Description:

	qpage has a compiled-in userid to switch to when it drops root privs.
	Out of the box, this is 'daemon', which doesn't have privs to open any
	/dev/cuaa* devices, which makes it hard to send pages via modem.

	qpage can also act as an SNPP client without talking directly to a
	modem, though, in which case 'daemon' is fine.  Still, there's no
	compile-time knob to change this easily, which makes 'portupgrade'
	a bit of a pain. :)

>How-To-Repeat:

	1) cd /usr/ports/comms/qpage; make install
	2) set up /usr/local/etc/qpage.cf to use a modem, for example:

modem=modem device=/dev/cuaa1
service=foobarpagerco
	device=modem
	baudrate=1200
	parity=even
	allowpid=yes
	maxtries=6
	phone=5551212
	maxmsgsize=230
	maxpages=5
pager=pagerone
	pagerid=5552121
	service=foobarpagerco

	3) /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qpage.sh start
	Opening the modem device will fail and the daemon won't start.

>Fix:

	Since some people probably use this as only an SNPP client instead
	of talking to a modem directly, in which case 'daemon' is OK...
	maybe a QPAGE_USER knob that could be set in /etc/make.conf?

	Otherwise, extend /usr/ports/comms/qpage/files/patch-config.h.in to
	change 'daemon' to 'uucp' on line 26 of the original file.
