Hi, there is an "oldish" bug report open on tcsh that complains about tcsh not deleting it's own entry from /etc/shells upon removal from the system. http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/16/16072.html Now, in my system I seem to have any imaginable shell included in that file, which belongs to the passwd package. The question is what should I do. AFAIK, /etc/shells is used to determine which shells can be used with chsh. I am not aware of any other use. I think it makes perfect sense that shells (un)register themselves in that file upon installation and in the pre-removal of the package. If the shell is used by some user (as shown in the /etc/passwd file) it should probably refuse to remove the package. In any case, I don't feel strongly in favour of any solution but would really like to know how to deal with this report. Thanks, Luis. -- Luis Francisco Gonzalez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Fingerprint = F8 B1 13 DE 22 22 94 A1 14 BE 95 8E 49 39 78 76
