[ILUG-BOM] Debian Etch Installation Report
Hi, I have just posted the text only version of my Debian Etch Installation Report to the wiki. It's available here: http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Debian_Etch_Installation_Report I have taken lots of screenshots and I'll post them tomorrow. The installer has a handy facility for taking screenshots if you're curious. Also, I found a MAJOR security bug with respect to the sudo integration. I enabled it and found that root login with a blank password was possible. I haven't tried updating the system yet. If the bug persists, I'll report it.

Actually, the signature has 3 options - 1) fixed text, 2) from a given file and 3) Output of a command. I had been using (1) for a long time. I just checked (3), works great. Cheers!

Frans Pop says he gets a ! in the /etc/shadow file, which means login disabled. Yes, I discussed that with Vihan yesterday. The bug could have been something like a missing ! in the shadow file. I realised that I should have checked that before I assigned a root password manually. Then again, this is exactly how I assigned the root password anyway. Logged in as root on the console with a blank password and simply used passwd. Anyway, I'll reinstall and see if I can reproduce it.

A formal installtion report via reportbug would be much appreciated, preferably with the latest daily build of the installer, and a sequence of steps to follow to reproduce it. Hmmm. I'll download the daily build. To be honest, the Debian website confuses me as to what exactly I should download.
