Note that this is posted to the -current list, so the context *I* infer from this is that you're referring to an upgrade from 4.6 (-STABLE) to 5.x (-CURRENT). Thus, the answer to the stated question is assuredly "yes." >I usually just copied the password files and rc.conf, >copied -CURRENTs etc files into /etc and copied the passwd files back.

Somehow, using mergemaster to handle all of that seems like a definite win to me; after all, that is why is exists -- or so I thought.
