Mmm, then your cronjob is broken. You shouldn't auto-install packages from a cronjob without first configuring debconf to use the noninteractive frontend for this purpose; you will run into other problems besides this one. > but ssh doesn't appear to be affected by this, still asks for a password. It asks for a password, but I believe you'll find that it accepts any value. You'll want to run 'pam-auth-update' as root to fix up your authentication config immediately, if you haven't already done so. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
