https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D232921 Michael La=C3=9F <bevan@bi-co.net> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |bevan@bi-co.net --- Comment #3 from Michael La=C3=9F <bevan@bi-co.net> --- I also encountered this issue doing a binary upgrade and it can cause a bit= of trouble: If pwd_mkdb is not run, ntpd will still run as root since the user ntpd is unknown. On the very first start, the rc.d script will move the drift file = to /var/db/ntp and also place the .pid file there. Both files will be owned by root at this point. If you now run pwd_mkdb to create user ntpd, the daemon won't be properly started next time since user ntpd cannot write to the dri= ft and the .pid file. This can be solved by simply removing the files or fixing the permissions b= ut it may be worth noting this in the release notes or upgrade instructions. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
