Installworld failed:ERROR: Required ntpd user is missing about crochet HOT 12 CLOSED

After adding the user ntdp, you must update the password database:
#pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd

Result:
#id -u ntpd
123

from crochet.

It checks the ntpd user on the host, not on the target. For a quick workaround I added ntpd user and group (123:123) just to have it working.

Getting this too, no matter whether I set the ntpd option or not. Even forcing the creation of an ntpd user doesn't help.

This issue occur when build in "freebsd 11.02".
Finally I use "freebsd 12.0-BETA3 amd64" in my virtualbox to build and everything is ok.

@zqb-all I'm working in a qemu image, and FreeBSDs later than 11.2 won't even boot.

Getting this error now.
Raspberry Pi, FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE. The ntpd user and group are present in the building host. src is borrowed from my poudriere jail created just today (poudriere jail -c -j FreeBSD:12:amd64 -v 12.0-RELEASE -a amd64). My crochet is also from today (master, zip).

I experience the same problem as @tldrm Maybe this bug should be reopened.

This is still not a crochet issue. In the other hand, use pw to create groups and users, it will do the background work for you.

The fact is that when upgrading from version 11 to version 12, the system adds entries to the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files, but does not update the database.

@przzzp @iseus, thanks for the input, guys. However, pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd didn't help me (did not update my /etc/master.passwd even after touching my /etc/passwd). Adding a dummy user (via adduser) did the trick and allowed me to proceed with my building process. Thanks again!

Thanks, I didn't noticed this yet. I'm still using 11.1 on my build host.
