I'm not sure which services I was asked about (didn't think to write it down), but I run a host of services because I use my box for web development work. I had assumed that the question would be asked to all users and since it doesn't pass the "could my mother answer it" test, I filed a bug.
As you said, it's unfortunate if SAMBA triggers the question. If that can't be avoided, I suggest rewording it to be intelligible to non- techies. The following might be better: Services to restart for login library (PAM) upgrade: Most services that use the login library need to be restarted to use this new version. Without a restart, login to the corresponding service may fail. The services in the following space-separated list will be restarted. Unless you are a system administrator and you have specific requirements it is safe to continue with the default list. Some other services such as xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver, and xlockmore cannot be restarted for you. You will not be able to authenticate to these services until you restart them manually. -- [Intrepid] Upgrading to Intrepid beta, PAM asks confusing question https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278117 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
