In the last episode (Mar 06), Noah said:
yeah - I have about 15 other user accounts specific to my mysql
installation that were not in the /etc/passwd file. where were those
stored?
If you're just talking about mysql users, those are in
/var/db/mysql/mysql/user.* . An OS upgrade shouldn't have touched
them at all. Unless you reformatted /var or something :)
It may be possible that mergemaster was used incorrectly.
If so, there should be a copy of the updated /etc/master.passwd file in:
# /var/tmp/temproot/etc
You can compare that against the new file in /etc. If they are the same,
mergemaster hosed the original. I don't know if mergemaster makes a
backup of the original, but it may be easier to pull master.passwd from
a backup (you did backup /etc right?) and try re-merging if there were
any differences.
Then again, I may be totally wrong with this assessment.
