Hi there,

I was building NetBSD 4.0 BETA from a Netbsd-current box (from
somewhere just after 3.0 release).  commandline:
=2E/build.sh -U distribution.

It gave the following error:
nbmtree: unknown user `smmsp'
nbmtree: failed at line 2248 of the specification

Of course, adding the user manually would fix the problem, but I
think this is supposed to work automatically?  There's also no
mention of this in the BUILDING file.

Peter
