Usage

sashconfig

sashconfig [Q [0..6] = [Y⎪N]] ...

Summary

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

Overview

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.

History

  • Debian 3.0 (Woody): the text shown here
  • Debian 2.2 (Potato)

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.
