Not sure why mergmaster doesn't have a -p option if it's built from latest
sources (mine does). You could always add the user and group yourself
(installworld needs it to set file permissions...):
in /etc/passwd (broken by me):
smmsp:*:25:25::0:0:Sendmail Submission User:\
/var/spool/clientmqueue:/sbin/nologin
in /etc/group:
smmsp:*:25:
Did you modify your kernel at all? Maybe you want to get building world
down first... but you might as well tackle the kernel config file now, so
you build a kernel optimized for your system. That would involve a cd to
/sys/i386/conf, cp GENERIC YOURKERNEL, then vi (or your favorite editor)
and commenting/adding as needed. Refer to LINT for more detail on
specific options (and handbook).
