You appear to have done something to your /etc/group file. If you check, I'll bet that the wheel group isn't there. This is odd, since wheel would be in your default /etc/group file and in the version that mergemaster was looking at. Try running mergemaster again to populate your group file, or just copy the default group file from /usr/src/etc/group. You'll need to add back groups for your users if you take the default. After this, you should delete /usr/obj, reCVSup, and try making world again. On a side note, running mergemaster before make buildworld is not recommended (see the handbook on buildling world for the recommended order of things). The exception is 'mergemaster -p' which is probably a good idea to run before. -David -- Everyone who believes in telekinesis, raise my hand...
