>Description:

When using freebsd-update to go from 8.x to 9.0-RELEASE, it adds the "hast" user/group to /etc/passwd /etc/master.passwd /etc/group

However, it doesn't run pwd_mkdb afterwards so /etc/pwd.db and /etc/spwd.db don't get updated to contain the new user. hastd won't start (because it can't find its user) until you manually run pwd_mkdb after upgrading.

>How-To-Repeat:

Use freebsd-update to upgrade from 8.x to 9.0, then try starting hastd.

>Fix:

freebsd-update probably should run pwd_mkdb after an update if it altered the password file.

It also might want to run some of the other things that mergemaster does, like cap_mkdb on login.conf and services_mkdb if it's not directly replacing those .db files.
