Hi Jeremy, I used Mergemaster. Thats what I mean't when I said that I carefully "merged" /usr/src/etc/ with /etc. But like I said, no files were replaced that contained my own configuration, e.g. group. I will say this- that I have always considered Mergemaster a confusing mess, despite the dogma on the lists. I have been running FreeBSD and installing it since 1998, so I have some experience- but this is new behavior beyond my previous experiences. Sincerely, Rob.
