Hello,
I just run `freebsd-update fetch && freebsd-update install`. Everything =
went=20
rather smoothly except one error message which I ignored (I guess it was=20=
cap_mkdb: potential reference loop detected
but I am not sure). Unfortunately, I was unable to `login`, `su` and =
`sudo`.=20
I was getting log messages like
login_getclass: 'tc=3D' reference loop 'root'
pam_acct_mgmt: error in service module
I rebooted and booted in single user mode (since I couldn't log in when =
I=20
started in multiuser mode). I tried to run
cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
but I was getting the "cap_mkdb: potential reference loop detected" =
every time.
Apart from that I ran `mergemaster` and `freebsd-update rollback` but it =
didn't=20
solve the issue.
Finally, I fixed the issue by removing ":tc=3Ddefault:" from the =
default login=20
class in /etc/login.conf and running `cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf` =
afterwards.
Why did `freebsd-update install` broke /etc/login.conf? Is there =
anything I did
wrong/could have done better?
Cheers,
