The default action is to do nothing, so its possible you just
missed it
as you were blazing through. :-)
Just updated another box to 6.1-STABLE, and yes I did 'return' though
it. The reason being mergemaster -p wanted to patch my group file to
remove all the additions (i.e, useful groups and group -> user
associations) as *well* as add the audit group.
Well unless -p changes mergemaster's behaviour, the general idea is
that you
press 'm' for merge ( correct me if I'm wrong but I think
mergemaster was
named after this feature :P ). It will let you add the new audit
group _and_
keep the extra groups.
I can vouch for this working properly!
I just ran mergemaster -p in the process of upgrading, when it gets
to the passwd and group file, I press M for merge, and select from l
and r (left and right) which side I want to keep. Thus I get the new
FreeBSD ID string, the new audit group, and all my old local mods.
