I didn't read much of this thread at it occurred; am catching up now. It is absolutely and unquestionably essential that no file in /etc which has *any* local modifications ever be edited on package upgrade w/o the admin's consent.
Adding users and groups on install is one thing, editing a locally edited config file during a package upgrade w/o asking for permission, OTOH, is UNacceptable. The normal dialog, with the options for seeing the diff, accepting the maintainers' version, keeping the local version or starting a shell manually to handle it, works fine. The openssh package should use that just like everything else. -JimC -- James Cloos <[email protected]> OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
