Hi Patrick, hi Finn-Arne, a bit of background: on February the 19th I moved lwat 0.17-1 to debian-edu's etch repository, previously it was only in etch-test and etch had 0.16-1. 0.17-1 changed the default behaviour of AllowPwdSet from true, to false, meaning that lwat would now make up a random password, which could not be changed the admin. (See the debian-edu mailing list and #1339 for longer explaination why this is bad.) On IRC I wondered how to fix this: <h01ger> So what is the best approach: a.) adding AllowPwdSet=true to the conf if its not set b:) not touching config file, but changing the default behaviour. i'd think a.) and discuss with upstream to change the default behavour, as users appearantly expect it. this also bites us for lenny, though i assume we could get a s-p-u upload allowance for this change (to bring debian and debian-edu's lwat in sync in lenny) * h01ger is willing to provide .dsc(s) and upload, but would prefer finnarne or winnie did. (I'm also happy to discuss (with the stable release team) and do the 5.0.1 work.) IMO we should come up with a fixed package in etch-test tomorrow ;-) And something for (our) etch maybe next wednesday or so.. regards, Holger
