I'm starting to suspect that these Default: lines are wiped automatically by debconf/dpkg when a package is upgraded and the template in the package do not include them. Perhaps all the code I wrote to wipe the default values is completely useless, and the password was in every squeeze version but disappeared the first time we upgraded debian-edu-config after their installation? It would explain why your and mine Squeeze installation did not have the passwords, while they are present just after installation. > Adding such lines to templates.dat and templates.dat-old containing > some fake passwords and then upgrading to d-e-c 1.456: wiped > successfully. Very good to hear. :) Btw: I plan to announce Debian Edu Wheezy alpha2 tonight. Please update the release notes if something is wrong/missing. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
