This is a recurring problem.  In an earlier version of -stable there
was the login.conf problem and also at some time the need to add
something to /etc/group.

Obviously it doesn't work to respond to questions in freebsd-questions
(people don't read it until they run into trouble) or the newsgroup.
And not everyone subscribes to -stable.  What you need is a README file
that arrives with the sources and ends up in /usr/src and has the latest
info on what has to be done that the make world won't do.
