(In reply to Ian Lepore from comment #1)

For "make installworld DESTDIR=/mnt/current" case,
"mergemaster -Fp -D /mnt/current" needs to be run instead of "mergemaster -Fp"

The problem is /usr/src/Makefile,

.for uid in ${CHECK_UIDS}
        @if ! `id -u ${uid} >/dev/null 2>&1`; then \
                echo "ERROR: Required ${uid} user is missing, see
/usr/src/UPDAT
ING."; \
                false; \
        fi
.endfor

This checks if a user exists on the host server and "not on the destination of
installworld."

$ uname -r
11.2-RELEASE-p2

$ id -u ntpd
id: ntpd: no such user

$ grep ntpd /mnt/current/etc/passwd
ntpd:*:123:123:NTP Daemon:/var/db/ntp:/usr/sbin/nologin

$ make installworld -C /usr/src DESTDIR=/mnt/current
...
ERROR: Required ntpd user is missing, see /usr/src/UPDATING.



Perhaps, this needs to be like

.for uid in ${CHECK_UIDS}
        @if `awk -F: '"${uid}" == $$1{rc=1}END{exit rc}'
${DESTDIR}/etc/passwd`; then \
                echo "ERROR: Required ${uid} user is missing, see
/usr/src/UPDAT
ING."; \
                false; \
        fi
.endfor

I'm not sure for NIS based cases...
