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'. I'm not sure what to do of here! Do I have to create a new user? If so what should I name the user? Do I have to create a new group? If so what whould I name the group? Any special permissions for these two? What does it mean to merge the 'smmsp' user and group and how is it done? Thanks. E. J. C.
