OS X installation problem and its solution

[TKK]

Hello everyone,

As you may know, there is a problem in installing OSSEC on Mac OS X
10.6 at least,
because a deprecated system utility is used to add OSSEC users and
group.

Reportedly, this has been fixed in the latest snapshot.
In any case, I was not aware of this and had written my own patch to
src/init/darwin-addusers.pl.
You may find it attached in this email.

I hope this helps people facing OSSEC installation problems on OS X.
