I can understand that, specially if you do a make world type
action, but when I
setup the databae (postgres) and my app I need to create some
root user login
info that must be supplied by the end user. I'd hate to code that
into the ebuild.

Another idea is to test for it the first time the app runs and
then prompt at that
point.

I thought I saw something about a port of the RedHat newt in CVS
