MFC freebsd-update: unconditionally regenerate passwd/login.conf files

The existing logic is nice in theory, but in practice freebsd-update will
not preserve the timestamps on these files. When doing a major upgrade,
e.g.
from 12.1-RELEASE -> 12.2-RELEASE, pwd.mkdb et al. appear in the INDEX and
we clobber the timestamp several times in the process of packaging up the
existing system into /var/db/freebsd-update/files and extracting for
comparisons. This leads to these files not getting regenerated when they're
most likely to be needed.

Measures could be taken to preserve timestamps, but it's unclear whether
the complexity and overhead of doing so is really outweighed by the
marginal
benefit.

I observed this issue when pkg subsequently failed to install a package
that
wanted to add a user, claiming that the user was removed in the process.
bapt@ pointed to this pre-existing bug with freebsd-update as the cause.

February 2021. How embarrassing. Something that I read yesterday linked to it …

You run it after the upgrade, which installs the generated files.

For now: if a user performs a minor upgrade from non-patched 12.1-RELEASE to
12.2-RELEASE-p3 _with the intention of upgrading to_ 13.0-⋯ …

… will be it necessary/appropriate to manually run: 

/usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd

– BEFORE the major upgrade? 

freebsd-update upgrade -r 13.0-BETA3



Put another way: will the benefit of 9b6591109e8 not reach 12.2 until
12.2-RELEASE-p4 (patch level 4)? 

Apologies for not getting my head around these things.

This is still an issue with 12.1-RELEASE-p7 and -p8:

I too upgraded several systems from 11.3 to 12.1 and on each of them I ran into
the problem that ntpd was broken after the upgrade:

I'm don't think I understand why it was still necessary, but I had to recover
from this after a freebsd-update from 11.3-RELEASE-p3 to 12.1-RELEASE-p0. I had
to A) manually run pwd_mkdb, and B) forcibly delete /var/db/ntp/ntpd.pid.

Google first led me to the same bug reported in bug #234014 - providing a back
reference to make it easier to resolve both at the same time.

This is still an issue in 12.0-RELEASE when upgrading an 11.x system with
freebsd-update. The proposed solution (pwd_mkdb) resolved the issue for me. 

I wanted to add a few odd coincidences caused by this bug, maybe it helps
someone.

I use openntpd instead of the system ntpd and I have _ntp user on my system.
The above bug manifested when I tried to setup synth (ports-mgmt/synth) with
the following mtree error:

raised REPLICANT.SCENARIO_UNEXPECTED : /usr/sbin/mtree -p
/usr/obj/synth-live/SL09/var -f /etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist -deqU

mtree file requires /var/db/ntp to have the following ownership:

ntp uname=ntpd gname=ntpd

However, my system had _ntp:ntpd owning /var/db/ntp. I don't know if this is an
earlier change (though openntpd doesn't seem to be using /var/db/ntp),
something done during the upgrade (maybe due to finding _ntp user and using
that user instead of ntpd) or the default permissions for the directory created
by the upgrade. 

Issuing an errata since this is present in -RELEASE and freebsd-update is a
supported upgrade option seems like a good idea.

--- Comment #3 from Michael Laß  ---
I also encountered this issue doing a binary upgrade and it can cause a bit of
trouble:

If pwd_mkdb is not run, ntpd will still run as root since the user ntpd is
unknown. On the very first start, the rc.d script will move the drift file to
/var/db/ntp and also place the .pid file there. Both files will be owned by
root at this point. If you now run pwd_mkdb to create user ntpd, the daemon
won't be properly started next time since user ntpd cannot write to the drift
and the .pid file.

This can be solved by simply removing the files or fixing the permissions but
it may be worth noting this in the release notes or upgrade instructions.

This still seems to be an issue with upgrades using freebsd-update. I updated
to, if I recall correctly, 12.0-RC1 several weeks ago and got an error on boot
"pid file /var/db/ntp/ntpd.pid: Permission denied". The directions above fixed
it. I skipped RC2 and updated to RC3 today from RC1 and got the error again. I
have another system I've been updating via source, and I haven't had this issue
on the source-based system.

This bug makes upgrading the system with source impossible since `make
installworld’ now checks for the presence of the ntpd user (with uid tool). 

Running the command given in comment #1 prior to installworld fixes it.

[Bug 232921] freebsd-update upgrade does not execute pwd_mkdb for ntpd

Bug ID: 232921
   Summary: freebsd-update upgrade does not execute pwd_mkdb for
ntpd
   Product: Base System
   Version: CURRENT
  Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
  Severity: Affects Some People
  Priority: ---
 Component: misc
  Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
  Reporter: i...@amail.plala.or.jp

freebsd-update upgrade -r 12.0-BETA[12] does not execute pwd_mkdb.
If we are using ntpd on 11.2-RELEASE or before, freebsd-update upgrade adds
ntpd/ntpd to user/group but does not execute pwd_mkdb.
So we must execute 'pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd' by hands.
