The man page of mergemaster says:
-p Pre-buildworld mode. Compares only files known to be
essential to the success of {build|install}world, i.e.,
/etc/group and /etc/master.passwd.
i.e. it must be run after installkernel and before installworld to
adjust the new /etc/group and /etc/master.passwd. After installworld mergemaster
should be run (or etcupdate) without -p to adjust all the scripts below
/etc, /etc/rc.d/ ... I've used this procedure above for many years and
it always let me decide it I want the new or the old or deal later with
the diff of all these files. And so I did it yesterday and it worked fine again.
Will check the next time what etcupdate wants to do, because it seems
the sucsessor of mergemaster.
