It is not only master.passwd, it is also group and several other config files, I suspect it is the whole bunch of files located in /etc/ getting reset to their initial file values. My OpenLDAP environment isn't working anymore due to /etc/pam.d reset. X11 doesn't start anymore due to reset of /etc/ttys. also, sysctl.conf has been reset. I haven't figured out so far how far this goes. Lucky for those having recent /etc/ backups. A pity FreeBSD doens't backup this by default. oh _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
