>Description:
      The Makefile for ports/security/samhain states:

# WITH_RUNAS_USER:                                                                                                           
#       Whe building with "WITH_SERVER" defined, the username of the                                                         
#       account Yule will run as. Defaults to "yule".  

But WITH_RUNAS_USER isn't set to anything in the Makefile or anywhere else., so it defaults to 'daemon'.  This works fine until you enable --with-gpg and GPG fails permissions/ownership sanity checks on ~WITH_RUNAS_USER/.gnupg because 'daemon' and 'root' share a $HOME of /root.
>How-To-Repeat:
      Build samhain with WITH_GPG=true and WITH_SERVER=true
>Fix:
      1) WITH_RUNAS_USER could default to something
      2) If not, there should be an:

.if defined(WITH_GPG) && defined (WITH_SERVER) 

...that alerts the user or sets the WITH_RUNAS_USER to something other than daemon.
