I agree - IMHO it's almost silly to prompt for a password only once (on real installations, not d-i development...) no matter if the target audience is experienced or newbie. It's absolutly common (*) to prompt for passwords twice - to avoid the risks of typos. ervybdoy does tpyos once in i whale :-) and almost everybody expects a double password dialog - it's insightful. </rant> So, file a bug against passwd or shadow ? which ? regards, Holger (*) and maybe even a violation against some (european) laws that require user-friendly UIs
