The mergemaster.rc that caused the problem has this

IGNORE_FILES='/etc/group /etc/hosts.allow /etc/mail/* /etc/master.passwd 
/etc/motd /etc/passwd /etc/sysctl.conf /etc/ttys /etc/namedb/*'

Obviously ignoring /etc/master.passwd et al isn't a good idea if you want to 
upgrade.

Maybe there could be a warning added to "mergemaster -p" if it would skip 
essential steps because of IGNORE_FILES. (Then at least some good can come out 
of this. :)

Cheers
Michiel
