>Description:
when upgrading a machine from 2.2.2 to 2.2.5 by using CVSup to get the full
source tree, and then doing a 'make world', it fails during the install
phase, when it tries to install ppp. the screen shows:

install -c -s -o root -g network -m 4550 ppp /usr/sbin
install: unknown group network


>How-To-Repeat:
create a 2.2.2 machine.
install CVSup.
get the 2.2.5-RELEASE branch.
cd /usr/src
make world

>Fix:
add the group 'network' (To be honest, I haven't actually tried this yet
as I'm trying to find out what number to give the group).

 That's actually a feature, not a bug.  No part of the regular build
 process is allowed to alter any file in /etc.

 ...and that's indeed the correct fix.  The number of the group is 
 
 j@uriah 224% fgrep network /usr/src/etc/group 
 network:*:69:
 
 (Of course, you've also got the above file. :)

 And never trust a computer that's bigger than you are...
