Bug ID: 290084
Summary: FreeBSD-15.0-ALPHA5 has no [s]pwd.db
Product: Base System
Version: 15.0-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: conf
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I downloaded FreeBSD-15.0-ALPHA5-amd64-ufs-20251004-1c0898edf28f-280541.raw and
created a VM with:
sudo vm create -t freebsd-zvol -i
FreeBSD-15.0-ALPHA5-amd64-ufs-20251004-1c0898edf28f-280541.raw freebsd15
On boot it fails due to a missing /boot/efi (see #262214) - after fixing that
it boots but then you see:
...
Updating /var/run/os-release install: unknown user root
done.
Updating motd:install: unknown user root
.
Creating and/or trimming log filesnewsyslog: error in config file; unknown
user:
/var/log/ppp.log root:network 640 3 1000 * JC
...
And indeed you can't login as root. Rebooting into single user mode and
running:
pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd
Fixes it.
