I've had similar problems with 11.3 and 12.0 (unsure of patchlevel) when adding users using Ansible. Had to add a step in our script that runs pwd_mkdb after each user is added to make sure it is reliable. ________________________________________ From: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org <owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org> on behalf of Doug McIntyre <merlyn@geeks.org> Sent: December 12, 2019 05:50 To: Mel Pilgrim Cc: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: Re: 11.3->12.1 upgrade, pwd db not rehashed after adding ntpd user?

I've had varied results with the same thing from 11.2 to 12.1. Sometimes it works, oftentimes it does not. pwd_mkdb does fix it up, but would be nice to not have to do that. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
