* You need to update the master.passwd file on your system: * News has had a ``well known'' uid:gid of 8:8 for a very long time :-) A-ha! ---------------------------- revision 1.9 date: 1995/01/03 21:02:01; author: ache; state: Exp; lines: +1 -0 Add 'news' user, present in group, but missed in master.passwd ---------------------------- I see. Since it isn't on my machine (2.0R), nor freefall, nor thud, I thought it's not standard. :) But a "make world" doesn't update master.passwd, so we still need to do something about this from the ports standpoint (for people who did a source upgrade). Any ideas? Satoshi
