Yeah, that was my change. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of any but the most icky ways of fixing this in /usr/src/Makefile, and the obvious move of actually editing your /etc/group file from the world rule sets such a truly evil precedent ("make world now plays in the /etc directory of your build machine! Joy!") that I couldn't bring myself to do it. I think getting over the hump by hand (look at it as portaging your canoe :-) is probably the cleanest solution, albeit not the friendliest. > 2) The shared lib libutil is bumped to a new version. I thought Satoshi yelled about this - resolution? Quick guys?! :) > 3) You won't be able to login to your computer if you don't have > /etc/login.conf. Yikes! Hmmmm. Actually, hasn't that been a problem for awhile? Jordan
