This is why you need to run pre-world mergemaster. --- Sent using a tiny phone keyboard. Apologies for any typos and autocorrect. Also, this old phone only supports top post. Apologies. Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> or <cy@freebsd.org> The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few. --- -----Original Message----- From: bob prohaska Sent: 21/07/2018 10:49 To: Ian Lepore Cc: Pete Wright; FreeBSD Current; bob prohaska Subject: Re: ntpd as ntpd user question On Sat, Jul 21, 2018 at 11:14:45AM -0600, Ian Lepore wrote: >=20 > There's a "pre-world" stage of mergemaster (-Fp option I think) which > isn't needed often, but one of the times it is needed is apparently > when new user ids are added. ?(So I've been told, I've never much used > mergemaster myself). I think there are some words about it at the very > bottom of UPDATING. >=20 FWIW, installkernel stopped with the note about needing an ntpd user/group. Never having been successful with mergemaster (couldn't make heads nor tail= s of the "what to do" prompts) I just ran adduser, creating a locked ntpd use= r and group. Nothing else special done. The machine is up to r336567 on arm64= . Installkernel ran, I didn't touch anthing in /etc manually and reboot looke= d normal. For now it seems ignorance is bliss.... If there's something special I should do (beyond locking) to secure the ntp= d=20 account please warn me.
