Created attachment 214254 [details] Pkg not installed in current GCP image but is available as an update after install Deploying FreeBSD 12.1 from the GCP Marketplace on Google Compute Engine works fine with Guest Attributes enabled. Enabling OS login in Metadata causes the process in version 1.5.3_2 to repeatedly crash and subsequently Google OS login is does not allow login. Upgrading to 20191018.00 (https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=516443) resolves this initial issue. However when creating new accounts, after installing 20191018.00, the pw process will freeze and not complete. Further creation of user accounts is no longer possible even after removal of google-compute-engine-oslogin. Reinstallation of FreeBSD is required to resolve. My last test was on 22/4/2020 using the below configuration: Image: freebsd-12-1-release-amd64 (GCP) OS: FreeBSD 12.1-p4 Platform: Google Cloud Zone: australia-southeast1-b Series: N1 CPU: 1 vCPU RAM: 1 GB SSD: 25GB Custom Meta enable-oslogin: TRUE enable-guest-attributes: TRUE Other users have reported similar issues as noted on this Twitter thread https://twitter.com/Terfex/status/1252647247088504833?s=20 Also this package is now reporting it is no longer maintained and is due for removal.
Thank you for the report Tom @Larry Are you able to help with this?
