Re: user problems when upgrading to v15

Repeating the entire process:

I created a 13.2 vm with 6 cores and 8GB of ram.

Ran freebsd-update fetch and install.

Ran pkg install git bash ccache open-vm-tools-nox11

Used git clone to get current and ports source files.

Edited /etc/make.conf to use ccache

Ran make -j6 buildworld && make -j6 kernel

I then rebooted in single user mode and did the next steps saving output 
to a file with > filename.

etcupdate -p was pretty uneventful. It did  show the below and did not 
prompt to edit.

root@f15:~ # less etcupdatep
   C /etc/group
   C /etc/master.passwd

make installworld seemed mostly error free though I did see a nonzero 
status for a man page failed inn the man4 directory.

etcupdate -B only showed the below. This was my first build after install.

root@f15:~ # less etcupdateB
Conflicts remain from previous update, aborting.

If I type exit in single user mode to go multi user mode, the local user 
still works. After a reboot the local user still works. This local user 
can also sudo as expected. This wasn't the case for the previous build 
when I first reported this. However, if I run etcupdate resolve it is 
still presenting /etc/group and /etc/master/passwd as problems.

If this is is expected behavior for current then no big deal. I just 
wasn't sure.
