On 01 Sep, my make world (2.2-stable) failed installing /usr/sbin/ppp because the program was supposed to belong to an until then nonexistant ppp group. So I found out what needed to be added to my /etc/group, fixed it and did a make installworld. I also posted a note to this list mentioning the issue and suggesting that some notice of this sort of change would be nice, in an obvious place (like /usr/src/README or this list). Today, 06 Sep, make world failed again. It appears that ppp now wants to be owned by the network group, which seems to be the ppp group with a new name (same group ID). Same solution, just edit /etc/group again. I subscribed to this list under the impression that this was where information about this sort of change was going to appear. I suppose that it is, but it would be nice if the 'brian' who is working on ppp would post it instead of me. -- I've always wanted to be a dilettante, but I've never quite been ready to make the commitment.
