I don't have passwd installed in my chroots, don't have a /etc/shadow, and installing passwd doesn't get create it either. It also seems to require that you have debconf installed, which I don't. Even with debconf installed it doesn't turn it on by default. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
