# sashconfig(8)

## NAME

sashconfig -- configure debian "sash" package

## SYNOPSIS

**sashconfig**

**sashconfig** \[**Q**\[**0**..**6**\]**=**\[**Y**⎪**N**\]\] ...

## SUMMARY

**sashconfig** optionally configures root or sashroot with /bin/sash as its root shell.

## DESCRIPTION

**sashconfig** is designed for use in the **postinst** script of  the Debian **sash** package.  It asks a few basic questions to determine what the system administrator would prefer for a root sash shell account.  It then configures the system appropriately.

## BUGS

**sashconfig** will offer to save its configuration, but it's the **postinst** script which knows how to read this configuration file.

This entire mechanism will be replaced with something based on debconf, after debconf is ready.
