This is unrelated to the issue that you're having, though. Even if you saw all of the possible questions that update-passwd could ask, changing the answer wouldn't change anything about your system, so there's really no point in showing them. You're focusing on the idea that the debconf prompt controls what shell shows up in /etc/passwd for a given user. It makes sense that you're thinking of it this way, since that's what most packages do with debconf prompting: use it to generate configuration. But that is not what update-passwd is doing. It's using debconf as a prompting framework, and is retaining information about changes to the system that you have previously declined. But it isn't controlling user shells with debconf directly. In other words, I think you're thinking of debconf as a repository of settings that you can use dpkg-reconfigure to change, but that's not how it works with update-passwd. The only file that you should change is /etc/passwd itself, via whatever means, and then say no to the prompts asking whether to change the shell. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
