>Description:
security/tor-devel takes its UID and GID from the range above
999 which is usually used for non-daemon users.

It leads to inconveniences if you want to have the same
UID/GID on all system to make NFS sharing easier.

security/tor uses UID and GID 256
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/dads-uid-and-gids.html)
and tor-devel could savely use the same ones, the ports conflict anyway.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install tor-devel and run: id _tor.
>Fix:
cp /usr/ports/security/tor/pkg-install /usr/ports/security/tor-devel/pkg-install
