Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.0.13-5
Severity: wishlist
As discussed with Joey Hess in -boot, it would be nice if preseeding the
root password doesn't need to preseed two debconf variables.
Below is a chunk of code suggested by Joey in this discussion:
===============================================================================
You have to use a different template, but that does not actually imply a
different question. For example:
db_register passwd/root-password-first passwd/root-password
if db_input critical passwd/root-password; then
db_go || # backup
db_get passwd/root-password
first="$RET"
db_register passwd/root-password-again passwd/root-password
db_input critical passwd/root-password || true
db_go || # backup
db_get passwd/root-password
second="$RET"
if [ "$first" != "$second" ]; then
# go back to top
fi
fi
db_get passwd/root-password
# fill out shadow file here
