>Description:

Downloaded the source tarballs for NetBSD 1.6 release candidate 2.
On the above described  1.5.2 machine, attempted to build with:
    ./build.sh -d -D ~/netbsd-1.6/destdir -R ~/netbsd-1.6/releasedir

The build failed with:

    (cd /build/home/nick/netbsd-1.6/src/etc && /build/home/nick/netbsd-1.6/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-1.5.2-i386/bin/nbmake DESTDIR=/root/netbsd-1.6/destdir distrib-dirs)
    STRIP=/build/home/nick/netbsd-1.6/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-1.5.2-i386/bin/i386--netbsdelf-strip /build/home/nick/netbsd-1.6/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-1.5.2-i386/bin/nbinstall  -d -o root -g wheel -m 755 /home/nick/netbsd-1.6/destdir
    nbinstall: /home/nick/netbsd-1.6/destdir: chown/chmod: Operation not permitted
    /build/home/nick/netbsd-1.6/src/tools/obj/tools.NetBSD-1.5.2-i386/bin/nbmtree -def mtree/NetBSD.dist -p /root/netbsd-1.6/destdir/ -U 
    nbmtree: unknown user `named'
    nbmtree: failed at line 797 of the specification
    *** Error code 1

    Stop.
    nbmake: stopped in /build/home/nick/netbsd-1.6/src/etc
    *** Error code 1

    Stop.
    nbmake: stopped in /build/home/nick/netbsd-1.6/src
    *** Error code 1

    *** Error code 1

    Stop.
    nbmake: stopped in /build/home/nick/netbsd-1.6/src

so I ran it again as root.  That got rid of the chmod errors, but it
still gripes about `named' being an unknown user.

>How-To-Repeat:

	See above.

>Fix:

	The workaround appears to be to create a user named "named"

I haven't looked at a real fix yet.
