Bug ID: 229487
Summary: Password database out of sync after binary update from
10.3
Product: Base System
Version: 11.2-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
After updating multiple machines from 10.3 to 11.2 using freebsd-update(8),
they all suffer from the same problem:
# pw useradd -n removemenow -u 3333 -g nobody -s /bin/false -h -
pw: user 'removemenow' disappeared during update
At this point removemenow is in /etc/master.passwd and I can also find traces
of it in pwd.db, yet:
# id removemenow
id: removemenow: no such user
Running
# pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd
fixes the issue, but this is quite irritating.
Also note that pwd.db has the time timestamp as master.passwd after the update
(so something got rewritten there) and it also changes after running "pw".
This is most likely a duplicate of #165954, still opening it, as it affects
11.2-RELEASE (and therefore should probably be mentioned in RELEASE ERRATA).
