base-passwd now tries to set real shells for all sorts of users who should not have them: ----BEGIN PASTE---- Preparing to replace base-passwd 3.5.19 (using .../base-passwd_3.5.20_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement base-passwd ... Processing triggers for man-db ... Setting up base-passwd (3.5.20) ... update-passwd has found some differences between your system accounts and the current Debian defaults. It is advisable to allow update-passwd to change your system; without those changes some packages might not work correctly. For more documentation on the Debian account policies please see /usr/share/doc/base-passwd/README. The list of proposed changes is: Changing shell of daemon from /bin/false to /bin/sh Changing shell of bin from /bin/false to /bin/sh Changing shell of sys from /bin/false to /bin/sh Changing shell of games from /bin/false to /bin/sh Changing shell of man from /bin/false to /bin/sh Changing shell of lp from /bin/false to /bin/sh Changing shell of mail from /bin/false to /bin/sh Changing shell of news from /bin/false to /bin/sh Changing shell of uucp from /bin/false to /bin/sh Changing shell of proxy from /bin/false to /bin/sh Changing shell of www-data from /bin/false to /bin/sh Changing shell of backup from /bin/false to /bin/sh Changing shell of list from /bin/false to /bin/sh Changing shell of irc from /bin/false to /bin/sh Changing GECOS of gnats from "Gnats Bug-Reporting System " to "Gnats Bug-Reporting System (admin)". Changing shell of gnats from to /bin/sh Changing shell of nobody from /bin/false to /bin/sh Would commit 17 changes It is highly recommended that you allow update-passwd to make these changes (a backup file of modified files is made with the extension .org so you can always restore the current settings). May I update your system? [Y/n] n Okay, I will not update your system. If you want to make this update later please check the update-passwd utility. ----END PASTE---- -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages base-passwd depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries base-passwd recommends no packages. base-passwd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
