I'm upgrading a bunch of older machines *some as far back as 4.2). First let me say a bing THANKS YOU for all the hard work the release engineering team does to make this work as well as it does. Now, let me point out a small problem. When I got to the "make installworld" step, I was politely informed that I needed a snsmp user. Looking at UPDATING, I saw that I could install the newer mergemaster by hand, and use it to add this user. I did that. Unfortunately the installworld, then errored when it got to installing mergemaster, as there was then on mergemaster.sh file in the directory, and no rule to build it. I copied the file back from the final location, back to mergemaster.sh in the source tree, and I'm re-running make installworld, which should go OK now. Would it be possible to fix the Makefile to prevent this problem? -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
