Is this safe to be done by a make script ? I was thinking about manual editing. Mostly because I'm not only thinking in the upgrade case, but also in some special cases in which a admin removes some previously existant groups, like network, man, bin or even wheel, thinking they have no use for him. Maybe a suggestion to look at src/etc/master.passwd, etc. could be enough. Anyway, make world should not be used by novices. :) Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis M.Sc.
