Package: squid Version: 4.8-1 Severity: minor The preinst script of the squid package adds the proxy user and changes the shell if the user is missing. The reason given in the comment for changing the shell is for cron jobs running as the proxy user. However searching through the source (including the debian folder) I could not find any trace to any cron jobs.
The question I have is, why is the shell changed only in the case when the user is added. If it is still needed, should it not always be changed (i.e. outside the if checking if the user exists). If it is not needed (as my preliminary research implies), should it not be removed altogether? Regards Kristofer
