Thanks for the response, Martin. Where will the public policy discuss take place? Perhaps one possibility for a interim solution is for rsyslog to log to journald by default instead of to disk by default and otherwise maximally direct services to log into journald instead of rsyslog. Mark

This remains a potential security issue with Ubuntu 14.04. It appears that the util-linux (2.25-5) should set the login shell as nologin. It seems here we need an update which finds the shells already set as /bin/sh and resets them to nlogin -- You received this bug notification because you are
