"media" user is treated as built-in user after upgrading to truenas-core 12.0

[keytalker]

I used to run freenas 11.3 and media worked well as a non built-in account.
Somehow after upgraing to truenas core 12.0 and restroed the config, "media" user is treated as built-in account and couldn't be used a samba access.

Not sure whether it's intended but it's a little unexpected.

media was certainly a built-in group/user in FreeNAS-11.3-U5

Code:

root@freenas[~]# getent group  media   
media:*:8675309
root@freenas[~]# getent passwd  media
media:*:8675309:8675309:Media User:/var/empty:/usr/sbin/nologin
root@freenas[~]#

The media user was introduced in FreeNAS 9.10.1-U1
