Hi all
I was updating a newly installed FreeBSD 9.1 RELEASE box to 9-STABLE,
and was preparing to install the kernel in order to reboot to test it.
However I was immediately hit with this:
# make installkernel DESTDIR=/ROOT/9-STABLE-2013-04-13
ERROR: Required auditdistd user is missing, see /usr/src/UPDATING.
*** [installcheck_UGID] Error code 1
I did see UPDATING...
20121218:
With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
depended on during installworld. mergemaster -p can be used to add
the user prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
It instructed me to run mergemaster -p prior to installworld (this
should always be done anyway, according to updating). But I'm not
installing world yet, just the kernel.
Should UPDATING be corrected?
Cheers
Tom

This is, indeed, an error in UPDATING. 'mergemaster -p' must be run before
installkernel.
Actually, you are really supposed to run 'mergemaster -p' before buildworld:
-p Pre-buildworld mode. Compares only files known to be
essen-
tial to the success of {build|install}world, including
/etc/make.conf.
Though, in reality, there has never been a case where it was actually
needed that early. None the less, it can be run then and there might be
such a case some day. In particular, make.conf could impact buildworld.
