Bug ID: 234014
Summary: chown: ntpd: illegal user name -- after freebsd-update
to 12.0
Product: Base System
Version: 12.0-RELEASE
Hardware: i386
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: vangy...@freebsd.org
I just updated an i386 machine (not amd64) from 11.2-RELEASE to 12.0-RELEASE
using freebsd-update. On boot, the console says:
chown: ntpd: illegal user name
Sure enough, the ntpd user was in /etc/*passwd but _not_ in /etc/*pwd.db.
# getent passwd ntpd
# grep ntp master.passwd
ntpd:*:123:123::0:0:NTP Daemon:/var/db/ntp:/usr/sbin/nologin
# strings spwd.db | grep ntp
# strings pwd.db | grep ntp
Also, ntpd is running as root.
The pwd db files were newer than the plain text files, so pwd_mkdb did run
during the upgrade:
# stat -x master.passwd passwd spwd.db pwd.db
File: "master.passwd"

I wonder if pwd_mkdb ran against the wrong/old master.passwd file?
Simply running pwd_mkdb worked around the problem.
