Yes, indeed. These are among the biggest you will have to contend with:
=========================================================
20020404:
Due to the import of sendmail 8.12.2 (see 20020325 entry), a new
user and group are required in order for sendmail to run as a
set-group-ID binary. A 'make installworld' will use the new user
and group to set the owner and group of /var/spool/clientmqueue
and will fail if the new user and group do not exist. The 'smmsp'
user and group must be merged from src/etc/group and
src/etc/master.passwd before using 'make installworld'.
'mergemaster -p' will do this. You may need to install
mergemaster before this will work if you are updating from a
very old version of stable. This can be done with:
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster; make all install
20020325:
sendmail 8.12.2 has been imported. The sendmail binary is no
longer a set-user-ID root binary and the infrastructure to support
command line mail submission has changed. Be sure to run
mergemaster (especially for updating /etc/rc, /etc/defaults/rc.conf,
and /etc/mail) and read /etc/mail/README for more details.
