I don't think that's the case as during install I went to another console to check how is mounted future / and it's: /dev/ada0p2 on /mnt (ufs, local, journaled soft-updates) and /mnt/etc/pwd.db, group, passwd are 644 and spwd.db,master.passwd are 600 The same as in running 9.2-RELEASE Anyway, thanks for the hint.
