For the most part ;) However, no place to store any other info (Gecos, shell, ...) is inconvenient. > Of note, yesterday the upstream author of libnss-ptdb folded this > change into the main codebase, although he uses the file ~/.loginshell > and I think he expects it to be a symlink rather than a text file.

It would be great, however, if you would update nss-ptdb Debian package in time, so that newly migrated users can straightforwardly be told to use ~/.loginshell symlink . For an extra bonus, when migrating users, we can take the effort of creating their ~/.loginshell as symlink to their shell from fyodor.. _______________________________________________ HCoop-SysAdmin mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-sysadmin
