From: Miroslav Lachman To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/164199: Ports fail to acknowlegde newly created users Date: Mon, 08 Oct 2012 23:37:19 +0200 I had this problem two times this year on two different machines. (never before) I don't know if it is caused by some bug in FreeBSD base (pw) or in the ports infrastructure. It was problem with corrupted password database, but from my point of view, the corruption was caused by port installation process. Password database was correct before and all four files (passwd master.passwd pwd.db spwd.db) had same modification date and time of first unsuccessful port install. A new user account can be manually found in passwd / master.passwd or by command vipw, but was not seen by 'pw' command.
