Is it expected that "pkg install FreeBSD-set-minimal" should erase all ordinary users from /etc/master.passwd and save the original file as /etc/master.passwd.pkgsave? Was I wrong to do "pkg install FreeBSD-set-minimal" on 15.0-RELEASE-p4? Shall I just copy the /etc/master.passwd.pkgsave back to /etc/master.passwd? Thank you Antonhome | help
