  • Project changed from pfSense Plus to pfSense
  • Category changed from High Availability to XMLRPC
  • Status changed from New to Confirmed
  • Priority changed from Normal to Very Low
  • Target version set to 2.8.0
  • Plus Target Version set to 24.03

A few notes after confirming this happens for me as well:

  • The secondary node does have an admins group in /etc/group
  • The command it is trying to execute there should either be using -g gid or -n name but it's using -g name which is an invalid combination. For example it should be -g 1999 or -n admins. Though it really shouldn't be trying to delete that group either way since it still has users, so something else may be broken as well.

Despite the error the user changes are properly reflected on the secondary node, the new user is added to and removed from the group even at the OS level. Thus this log message is apparently not having any practical effect on the outcome in this case, making it cosmetic only as far as I can tell at the moment.

After applying the fix, the errors are no longer present with the admins group, but assigning / removing any other groups still give the same sort of error.

confirmed Chris Cope's findings by adding new user/group.

This should resolve that error by using the correct option (-n instead of -g).

It still seems to remove and re-add the non-admins group when it syncs, but that seems to be the expected behavior.
