Also, I'm assuming you had a space in 'make world' above. The manual page is assuming you aren't necessarily using /etc/rc.conf.

Unless you created a devfs ruleset called wotan_ruleset, remove this line.

This is what's causing the getpwnam error in the first place. Basically, your system is saying return the root account information, but when it tries to look it up in the password database (defaults to the files above, basically), nothing is there. The make distribution should have automatically went into src/etc and created a default /jails/wotan/etc/passwd and friends install. As for the `make distribution DESTDIR=$D` and not changing into src/etc, that should be OK. The Makefile.inc for RELENG_6_2, RELENG_6_3, and RELENG_7_0 does it automatically. The src/etc/Makefile for RELENG_6_2, RELENG_6_3, and RELENG_7_0 all explicitly create the password database files by calling pwd_mkdb. But, you don't have the files... As you mentioned, an error occurred during make distribution. That to me seems the issue... Jon
