Some way that the administrator can do so separately from installing the package. Ideally, the installation would use the same API to set the administrative password if available during the install. > With a warning message on the administrative page of the webapp > saying something like: 'Please run (as root) "dpkg-reconfigure > pixeplpost" to set the password of the administrative user.' > (priority is always 'low' for dpkg-reconfigure). That would do the job at hand, but is unfortunately Debian-specific. Better would be to work with the upstream to address this at the source, such that the solution becomes part of the upstream distribution. That's up to you to determine whether you have the resources to do so. -- \ “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his | `\ salary depends upon his not understanding it.“ —Upton | _o__) Sinclair, 1935 | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
