            Bug ID: 231334
           Summary: 12-ALPHA's make installworld DESTDIR=/mnt/current
                    fails due to improper ntpd user check of /etc/passwd
                    file
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ota at j.email.ne.jp

Even though DESTDIR is specified, make installworld looks into /etc/passwd for
ntpd user instead of ${DESTDIR}/etc/passed and fails to continue.

I had 11.2-RELEASE running and had mounted 12-ALPHA release under /mnt/current
while I mounted 12-ALPHA#'s /usr/src and /usr/obj.
$ make installworld -C /usr/src DESTDIR=/mnt/current

That failed even though I had ntpd user setup under DESTDIR.

% grep ntpd /mnt/current/etc/passwd
ntpd:*:123:123:NTP Daemon:/var/db/ntp:/usr/sbin/nologin

I do not have ntpd user /etc/passwd as it is 11.2-RELEASE does not require.

I lost the exact message but the one says to look into /usr/src/UPDATES about
ntpd user account.
