riastradh e4d662933e Draft man pages for the standard users and groups.
These are currently listed in order of uid because I went through
src/etc/group and src/etc/master.passwd line by line, and sorting any
other way after the fact -- like lexicographically, how it should be
-- was kinda inconvenient.

Feel free to sort, add information, add historical references,
correct any mistakes, &c., so that these remain living documents
describing NetBSD's standard users and groups and practices around
them.

README.md

NetBSD

NetBSD is a free, fast, secure, and highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system. It is available for a wide range of platforms, from large-scale servers and powerful desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices.

Building

You can cross-build NetBSD from most UNIX-like operating systems. To build for amd64 (x86_64), in the src directory:

./build.sh -U -u -j4 -m amd64 -O ~/obj release

Additional build information available in the BUILDING file.

Binaries

Testing

On a running NetBSD system:

cd /usr/tests; atf-run | atf-report

Troubleshooting
