Did you `mergemaster -p' before building world? I did that when I upgraded from 5.4-STABLE to 6.0-STABLE, and noticed that it added the `_dhcp' record to `/etc/passwd' and `/etc/group', and did `pwd_mkdb' as well. As far as I remember, those were the only changes made by `mergemaster -p'. Raghavendra. -- N. Raghavendra | See message headers for contact Harish-Chandra Research Institute | and OpenPGP details.
