Dear Kris
I have a few questions related to this error message
ERROR: Required audit group is missing, see /usr/src/UPDATING

I know that updating requires the mergemaster steps because I read the 
handbook. But I don't understand why this message tells me to look
in that file, when there's nothing about that in it.

Is /usr/src/UPDATING synonymous to 'the correct updating procedure'?

Or is there a file which describes how I can manually insert needed groups
and users when I mess up mergemaster runs?

Or is that pointless anyway since I could just remove /usr/obj and rerun 
the whole updating procedure again before I reboot?

And finally, is it really necessary to reboot after 'mergemaster -p'?
Lately I've skipped that step with no adverse side-effects, saves me one 
reboot :-)

I would be very grateful for any explanations.

Thanks
lars.
