   I have had this happen before, the PEBKAC. When running mergemaster,
   it will prompt you to install new passwd, master.passwd and group
   files - if you have added local users you must not say yes to this,
   you must either merge the changes in or keep your local one.
 
  It would have been so awesome if our /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group
  included an #include directive.

 I do agree with this.  Or if you could have /etc/passwd.d and /etc/group.d
 directories that can contain files that are auto-included.

Another idea is to let mergemaster call pw(8) to add remove users and
groups instead of merging the files.

It does not cover /etc/aliases though... But that is minor to this. =)

 It's need feature. I test patch - it work for me (CURRENT, amd64)
 Can I use some as:
 include /path/to/dir/*.conf
 ?
 and can I create recursive include?
 
 
  Yes, wildcards and recursive includes are supported.
 
  great job!
  Thanks!

 i would be real nice is newsyslog also supported a date based file renaming
 shceme rather than the cyclic 0,1,2,3, much like the datext option in
 logrotate. eg

 messages
 messages.20100422
 messages.20100421
 messages.20100420
 ...

 The cyclic renaming is a pain for incremental backups as all the log files
 are backed up every time as their contents changes compared to their
 filename

Even nicer if it could use the strftime() syntax format. ie: %Y%m%d to get
the date. This way it could also be named in week number.
