You're saying that *conffile* prompts are difficult for an admin to
understand? Are you sure these folk are using Debian?
Just wanted to inject a bit of realism :) See below.

Okay, but before I do that, could you answer a few questions?
1) What is the default for Woody? MD5 passwords or non-MD5 passwords?
(And by default, I mean "when they're asked in the installation, which
is the default answer?)
2) When you say 'if the md5sum of /etc/pam.d/other matches ...', do you
mean 'for each configuration file in /etc/pam.d/, if it matches the
md5sum of ...'?
