how to create the kannel user?

[sugar]

Hello, I just installed the Kannel from ports using these commands: "cd /usr/ports/www/kannel/ && make install clean"

When trying to launch the kannel server it says the folowing error:
radius# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/kannel start
Starting kannel_bearerbox.
su: unknown login: kannel
Starting kannel_smsbox.
su: unknown login: kannel
Starting kannel_wapbox.
su: unknown login: kannel

How can I create the "kannel" user if the make script didn't?

Thanks in advance.

I was under the idea that a daemon should run under a special system account such as "www" or "ftp"... is such a good practice to have a daemon running with a -regular user account?

[cajunman4life]

www and ftp are regular user accounts as well...

[vermaden]

Like cajunman4life said, they are also regular, but ofter thay have set null $HOME dir like /var/empty and interactive login turned off - /usr/sbin/nologin as shell.

You may want to edit these parts of kannel account by typing vipw as root.
