Yes, that’s inconvenient but manageable (except in the face of automated upgrades). Also, the normal conffile handling only has a yes-or-no approach (and a “let me spawn a shell” one), none where you can interactively merge (like with diff3 when CVS has a merge conflict) the change… >> Also, visudo now asks >> | press return to edit /etc/sudoers.d/README: >> which, while cosmetic, will lead to much frustration and some >> confusion under the sysadmins. > >I don't see that. What command causes you to get that message? sudo visudo ⇒ opens an editor on the tmp for /etc/sudoers ^Kx (exits the editor) ⇒ displays the message <return> ⇒ opens an editor on the tmp for /etc/sudoers.d/README This is because /etc/sudoers contains | #includedir /etc/sudoers.d and /etc/sudoers.d/README is a file in that directory… must there be one in order for the #includedir line to be valid? (I’d patch that out.) bye, //mirabilos -- 08:05⎜<XTaran:#grml> mika: Does grml have an tool to read Apple ⎜ System Log (asl) files? :) 08:08⎜<ft:#grml> yeah. /bin/rm. ;) 08:09⎜<mrud:#grml> hexdump -C 08:31⎜<XTaran:#grml> ft, mrud: *g* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
