You should probably remove all the junk in /usr/obj from previous make worlds, then run "make cleandir" in /usr/src and then try a make world again. The messages about no such user 'tty' indicate your /etc files are out of date. Use the "mergemaster" port to keep your /etc files up to date but you'll need to be carefull when adding the new users to /etc/passwd (hint: run vipw after editing /etc/passwd so the password databases are re-created). One last hint: READ THE CURRENT AND CVS-ALL MAILING LISTS IF YOU'RE GOING TO RUN CURRENT! - if you cant be botherred spending the time to do this dont run CURRENT! P.S. If your existing CURRENT system is too old, you may need to try installing a snapshot first.... you may have to try a few different snapshots before you find one that works... there were some problems a while back with boot disks I think.
