I reported that adduser creates a .bash_profile file in the invoking
user's current directory. On examining the code, it seems that if
/etc/skel contains a .login or a .profile it will write those too.
Below is a patch that I believe will fix the problem. It also adds a

I would also like to have the capability to switch between multiple versions

Just a few thoughts on installing Debian on Networked systems. (I was

I liked your letter. Since you were painting in broad strokes I see
no need to pick nits but I think many of your site management concerns
would be better handled by a tool like cfengine than a client-server
model for dpkg.

I think there was a copyright problem with setterm that caused us to
remove it from the distribution a long time ago. If I recall correctly,
it didn't allow distribution for a fee, which is of course essential to
our CD-ROM redistributors.
Several of the programs in util-linux had ambiguous or

First, research the current copyright status and confirm it with the author.
Then, if you have to, lobby the author. Only if that fails, write something
better and GPL it.
