Package: slapd Version: 2.1.30-3 Followup-For: Bug #260204 A properly configured debconf (i.e., debconf as it comes by default) will write password-style templates to /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat, rather than /var/cache/debconf/config.dat; the latter indeed isn't world-writable, while the former is.
While this does reduce the severity of the problem, it still is bad to do this. After all, it's possible to remove the value once it is no longer needed. Just do: db_set slapd/password1 "" db_set slapd/password2 "" And the value will be empty; that is, the question will still be in passwords.dat but the passwords themselves will be gone; and once the directory is generated, these passwords should not be required anymore anyway. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages slapd depends on: ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii debconf 1.4.42 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-17 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libgcrypt11 1.2.0-11 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgnutls11 1.0.16-13 GNU TLS library - runtime library ii libgpg-error0 1.0-1 library for common error values an ii libiodbc2 3.52.1-2 iODBC Driver Manager ii libldap2 2.1.30-3 OpenLDAP libraries ii libltdl3 1.5.6-4 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libsasl2 2.1.19-1.5 Authentication abstraction library ii libslp1 1.0.11-7 OpenSLP libraries ii libtasn1-2 0.2.10-4 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime) ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-6 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii perl [libmime-base64-perl] 5.8.4-5 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii psmisc 21.5-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
