.I have since discovered that /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passed both had a duplicate "unbound" user and I thought that might be the problem, so I have manually deleted the duplicate from each file.
However, the problem persists. Running
pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd
either fails with the message "Abort", or sometimes hangs forever.Oddly, if I copy my /etc/master.passed file to a jail then I can successfully run
pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd
there. And if I run ezjail-admin update -b
or ezjail-admin update -i
then it fails when executing the pwd_mkdb ...
command.If I run
dmesg
, then I see some messages like "pid 30941 (pwd_mkdb), uid 0: exited on signal 6".Does anybody know what the problem is and how to fix it?
