Mar 6 09:50:58 	unbound: [36355:0] notice: init module 0: iterator

      I got this when I upgraded a test APU from 2.2-RELEASE to:
      2.2.1-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
      built on Thu Mar 05 18:16:04 CST 2015
      FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p6

      nanoBsd 4GB 64-bit image

      When I press the start button for unbound from the GUI, this comes in the resolver log:

      Mar 6 11:14:55 	unbound: [20584:0] error: user 'unbound' does not exist.
Mar 6 11:14:55 	unbound: [20584:0] notice: Restart of unbound 1.5.2.

Mar 6 11:14:55 	unbound: [20584:0] notice: init module 0: iterator

      But /etc/passwd has:

      ...
mailnull:*:26:26:Sendmail Default User:/var/spool/mqueue:/usr/sbin/nologin
bind:*:53:53:Bind Sandbox:/:/usr/sbin/nologin
unbound:*:59:59:Unbound DNS Resolver:/var/unbound:/usr/sbin/nologin
proxy:*:62:62:Packet Filter pseudo-user:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin
_pflogd:*:64:64:pflogd privsep user:/var/empty:/usr/sbin/nologin
...

      So why "user unbound does not exist"?

        Try rebuilding the passwd database

        /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb -d /etc -p /etc/master.passwd

          Still unbound starts and dies like:

          Mar 6 22:07:17 	unbound: [98897:0] error: user 'unbound' does not exist.

Mar 6 22:07:17 	unbound: [98897:0] notice: init module 0: iterator

          Note: my posts of logs are backwards - logs from the bottom up in time sequence.

          I tried with mounted rw and ro and that makes no difference.

          Anyway, I am happy to try a later snapshot tomorrow. I suspect an error message like this should happen all the time for anyone using this snapshot.

            Never seen that anywhere. What I'm seeing on loads of nanobsd/Alix boxes is this:

            
Jan 1 01:01:20	unbound: [30248:0] info: failed to prime trust anchor -- DNSKEY rrset is not secure . DNSKEY IN
Jan 1 01:01:20	unbound: [30248:0] info: failed to prime trust anchor -- DNSKEY rrset is not secure . DNSKEY IN
Jan 1 01:01:20	unbound: [30248:0] info: failed to prime trust anchor -- DNSKEY rrset is not secure . DNSKEY IN

            Note the wrong date. (Yeah, those boxes do have a CMOS battery.)

              @phil.davis:

              Still unbound starts and dies like:

              I'm seeing exactly the same thing on only one system. The user is there, the password database is up to date (and tried rebuilding it), yet it dies with the log it can't find the user. Running same snapshot (latest available at the time of this writing) on several systems, and the rest have no issue. Have dozens of systems on recent snapshots, not seeing an issue on any of those either. No apparent difference between the ones that work, and the one that doesn't. Looking into it.

                Unbound 1.5.2 regression, 1.5.3 was just released to address it.
                https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4514

                Renato will get that in snapshots in the next few hours. We're very near to releasing 2.2.1, so help testing once that's updated would be appreciated.

                  Good to know I am not going crazy. Post when there is a snap available, I can test quite quickly.

                    I looked on a Firebox X1000 running yesterday's 2.2.1 snapshot and unbound was not crashing or getting this error by itself.
                    I can make it do a bad thing by:

                    [2.2.1-DEVELOPMENT][root@test-rt-01.myorg.org]/root: unbound-control -c /var/unbound/unbound.conf reload
ok

                    Then in the system log:

                    Mar 12 15:04:12 	kernel: pid 33159 (unbound), uid 59: exited on signal 11

                    and in this case the unbound log has nothing - it seems the reload crashes unbound before it can write the log message about "user unbound does not exist."
                    Ref: https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/bugs-script/show_bug.cgi?id=650

                    This seems like an easy test that should exhibit the problem on (all?) systems. Then it can be done on a snapshot with unbound 1.5.3 to confirm it is fixed.

                        Hi,

                        I had the problem this morning with a fresh install on an APU board.

                        After upgrading to
                        2.2.1-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
                        built on Thu Mar 12 08:52:42 CDT 2015
                        FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p6

                        the problem was solved.

                        Thanks for the quick fix,
                        bootix
