some pkgs require a pass that is known, ie mysql, but maybe I could set it to ask if the passwd eq ask if that suits?
Mysql needs it for the user? I was under the impression the mysql root "user" (inside mysql) does, but not the system user that mysql runs under.
you can' sudo or su to a user that doesn't have a shell. you can execute things as that user using sudo -u but that is it.
But he would have a shell, just not a password.
-- We put a lot of thought into our defaults. We like them. If we didn't, we would have made something else be the default. So keep your cotton-pickin' hands off our defaults. Don't touch. Consider them mandatory. "Mandatory defaults" has a nice ring to it.
