 * You need to update the master.passwd file on your system:

 * News has had a ``well known'' uid:gid of 8:8 for a very long time :-)

Add 'news' user, present in group, but missed in master.passwd
----------------------------

I see.  Since it isn't on my machine (2.0R), nor freefall, nor thud, I 
thought it's not standard. :)

But a "make world" doesn't update master.passwd, so we still need to
do something about this from the ports standpoint (for people who did
a source upgrade).  Any ideas?
