- Description:
- oddjob is a D-Bus service which performs particular tasks for clients that
connect to it and issue requests over the system message bus. Each task is
run by a helper started by the oddjobd daemon under a configurable set of
access controls, so unprivileged clients can trigger specific privileged
operations without being granted broad privileges.
FreeIPA uses oddjob to run privileged server-side helpers (AD trust setup,
SID configuration and replica connection checks).

sysutils/oddjob: Add new Port
oddjob is a D-Bus service (oddjobd) that runs a fixed set of privileged
jobs on behalf of unprivileged client applications. FreeIPA uses it for
oddjob-mkhomedir, which creates a user's home directory on first login.
The port disables the systemd, sysvinit, Python and SELinux features
that do not apply on FreeBSD and ships a native rc script.
