25.04.1: smb user lacks valid password hash. Catch-22

TrueNAS General
1

Since upgrading from 25.04 I’m getting this notification"

The following users lack valid password hashes. This may occur if the TrueNAS configuration was restored without the secret seed and may be fixed by resetting the user password through the TrueNAS UI or API: rsync

But, the UI will not allow me to make ANY changes to the rsync acct. I get something like “changes to built-in acct wheel are not allowed.” I get this msg even if I just edit/user/rsync and try to save _without changes.

Rsync is working, as is smb, so I can live with and ignore the spurious msgs for now. But really…

Answering my own question: deleting user named rsync cleared the warning. Rsync still appears to work – it runs as root
