https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=232921 Michael Laß <bevan@bi-co.net> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |bevan@bi-co.net --- Comment #3 from Michael Laß <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 drift and the .pid file. This can be solved by simply removing the files or fixing the permissions but it may be worth noting this in the release notes or upgrade instructions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
