/etc/master.passwd is in the FreeBSD-runtime package, which must always be installed on a pkgbase system. the only reason 'pkg upgrade' would overwrite it with a pristine copy is if you somehow didn't have that package installed, but if that was the case, the system would already be completely non-functional. the only way i can imagine this happening if you had a non-pkgbase system, then installed FreeBSD-runtime (e.g., as a dependency of FreeBSD-set-minimal), but this should not be possible in a normal non-pkgbase installation since the FreeBSD-base repository won't be enabled. --vf2m2KxpQRud23ma Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQSyjTg96lp3RifySyn1nT63mIK/YAUCaek7KwAKCRD1nT63mIK/ YBeOAP9uXff7vp4ayd5qtZs1FmnUo3QosEG2tGhVVWjtiPKJOgD8DBfG1NLA4+wA mCX2CBcuV/9zhUgXPFcdJZMlCLzUkgc= =JRMg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --vf2m2KxpQRud23ma--
