I usually use freebsd-update in a sudo -s shell and have never had prompts to remove system files like the OP had. Unfortunately I can't talk from experience about the 12.2 -> 13.0 upgrade as I did a complete wipe and reinstall so I could switch from BIOS to UEFI booting. However I can say the files that were going to be removed do exist under 13.0: arthur@arthur[1]> ls /etc/pam.d atrun ftp imap other pop3 sshd system xdm cron ftpd login passwd README su telnetd -- Nothing teaches one not to try to stamp out burning thermite quite like real-life experience. — James Davis Nicoll
