I found this command but I use it for a long time.


I found the "mergemaster -p" in an older doc version:

mergemaster -p :

This does some initial configuration file updates in preparation for the =
new world. For instance it may add new user groups to the system, or new =
user names to the password database. This is often necessary when new =
groups or special system-user accounts have been added since the last =
update, so that the installworld step will be able to use the newly =
installed system user or system group names without problems.

But the latest doc version has no reference about "mergemaster -p".

So "mergemaster/etcupdate -p" is not needed if we use 12.2?=
