BTW this is because rpki-client reuses a uid that was previously allocated to named (and removed in 2014). I am running into this on a lot of machines (there is an automated process to add new users in sysmerge, but not to remove them - sysmerge doesn't allow manual merges of the password database). > ---- /etc/mail/smtpd.conf unhandled, re-run sysmerge to merge the new version > > My question is, is there a “standard” place/way to confirm that sysmerge > finished successfully (other than looking at the console output on first > boot)? For some reason (I don’t know if I’m editing in a way that sysmerge > doesn’t like to merge) this seems to happen a lot with unbound.conf, nsd.conf > and smtpd.conf (for example), so I run into sysmerge conflicts often.
