The user to be added is identified in /usr/src/UPDATING But I won't force you to read it. You have to add to your passwrd file the following as one line. smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin You also have to add smmsp to /etc/group smmsp:*:25: Then, installworld will finish your upgrade. You could also run mergemaster -p but I don't let mergemaster touch my group or password files.
