I tried different variations without triggering in the hang (like foo#bar and foo*bar), until I tried '*#secret'. The *# combination at the start causes the hang. The reason is that /usr/share/debian-edu-config/d-i/pre-pkgsel passes on the password but cut it short before #, and thus only * is passed on as the password. This in turn get shell expanded when the password is used without quotes. I've uploaded code to add quotes to squeeze-test, but the problem with # is unsolved. I hope this will avoid the hang. It will still set the wrong password. :( -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
