A 'make installworld' will use the new user and group to set the owner and group of /var/spool/clientmqueue and will fail if the new user and group do not exist. The 'smmsp' user and group must be merged from src/etc/group and src/etc/master.passwd before using 'make installworld'. 'mergemaster -p' will do this. You may need to install mergemaster before this will work if you are updating from a very old version of stable. This can be done with: cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster; make all install [clean] So did you run mergemaster? You may have to boot from floppy or CD and use fixit to get a terminal to do that . . . ja~ Tony ---------- Tony Chang w@muc.muohio.edu 211 N.
