--- Begin Message ---Package: base-passwd Version: 3.5.32 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, after doing a reboot today I noticed that inn2 doesn't start anymore. After some digging I found the problem. base-password 3.5.30 set a lot of shells in /etc/passwd to /usr/sbin/nologin. It did ask before doing so but I at that time thought it would set reasonable defaults. ;-) Turned out the default for user news is not quite reasonable since inn2 just isn't able to start without a valid shell. (inn2's start script does start the daemon like this: su news -c /usr/lib/news/bin/rc.news > /var/log/news/rc.news 2>&1 which doesn't work when the shell is set to /usr/sbin/nologin) Since base-password did ask before doing the changes, it's IMHO not a real bug but in part just stupidity on my side to trust the defaults. But maybe a little warning about possible complications like with inn2 would be nice.
