Out of curiosity, to make sure nothing else is non-optimal, what
other user accounts were added from 5.4 to 6.0?  I cannot recall,
did not save anything from 5.4, and never saw anything related to
this on any of the documentation on the website.  I only knew to do
this for DHCP because I strictly followed the Handbook in updating
and diff'd the master.passwd files and figured things out for
myself.

Did you `mergemaster -p' before building world?  I did that when I
upgraded from 5.4-STABLE to 6.0-STABLE, and noticed that it added the
`_dhcp' record to `/etc/passwd' and `/etc/group', and did `pwd_mkdb'
as well.  As far as I remember, those were the only changes made by
`mergemaster -p'.

Hello and thank you for the reply. Yes, I did run mergemaster -p  
prior to building world. Perhaps when it showed me the diffs and  
asked me what to do, that is what prompted me to add the user myself  
so I knew that all of my custom users and groups would be saved. I  
assume you opted for the choice of merging the two files?
