I'll start by mentioning that this may well belong better on the -STABLE
list, but I thought I'd bounce this off y'all first...

Just last night I started a make world on 2.2-STABLE (cvsup'd about a half
hour before I started; maybe 1am?), and I woke up to find that it had
croaked during the install portion.  This happened on both ppp and slip;
it was set top install them with owner root and group network.  Now, my
machine doesn't HAVE a group network; I've never seen it; ppp and slip
were always root.bin, and I changed the Makefiles in both respective
directories to make them group bin.  What I want to know is, is this an
oversight, bug, or feature?

Here's a kinda unrelated thought.  Would it be a good idea to put a line
in the Makefile for make world to have it automatically script to a file
for logging purposes?  Prob not, but it's a thought...
