(This won't matter for translations, of course.) This has been discussed on dle and we finally settled that the use of single quote is what's the closest to the official English typography's quotes. Those are unfortunately non ASCII characters, which would be a problem. Noone during the discussion raised that double/single quotes is an American|British choice, indeed. I'm pretty ignorant on that issue and finally followed the advice of other reviewers. Most of them are from UK but the general policy for dle review is to follow American English conventions. > One other general English issue: I'm not sure if we should use Kerberos4 > and Kerberos5 to refer to the versions of the protocol instead of Kerberos > v4 and Kerberos v5, or Kerberos V4 and Kerberos V5.

Well, I don't exactly agree here. Using or not using double spaces after periods is a matter of general style and consistency among packages, so this is why we include such changes. For sure, this is some unwritten|not yet written policy enforcment, but this has some importance for the overall consistency impression of our users. However, the maintainer(s) has of course the very final word. Please confirm your call about this issue. We need to have this settled *before* the call for translations as changing single spaces to double spaces *will* fuzzy translations and therefore need manual processing. I re-attach all debconf templates as they are now. Issues to solve: -single or double quotes -Kerberos4|Kerberos v4|Kerberos V4 -double spaces after periods

Template: krb5-admin-server/newrealm Type: note _Description: Setting up a Kerberos Realm This package contains the administrative tools required to run the Kerberos master server. . However, installing this package does not automatically set up a Kerberos realm. This can be done later by running the 'krb5_newrealm' command. . Please also read the /usr/share/doc/krb5-kdc/README.KDC file and the administration guide found in the krb5-doc package. Template: krb5-admin-server/kadmind Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Run the Kerberos5 administration daemon (kadmind)? Kadmind serves requests to add/modify/remove principals in the Kerberos database. . It is required by the kpasswd program, used to change passwords. With standard setups, this daemon should run on the master KDC.

Default: true
_Description: Create the Kerberos KDC configuration automatically?
The Kerberos Domain Controller (KDC) configuration files, in
/etc/krb5kdc, may be created automatically.
.
By default, an example template will be copied into this directory
with local parameters filled in.
.
Administrators who already have infrastructure to manage their
Kerberos configuration may wish to disable these automatic
configuration changes.
Template: krb5-kdc/krb4-mode
Type: select
__Choices: disable, full, nopreauth, none
Default: none
_Description: Kerberos4 compatibility mode to use:
By default, Kerberos4 requests are allowed from principals that do
not require preauthentication ('nopreauth'). This allows Kerberos4
services to exist while requiring most users to use Kerberos5 clients
to get their initial tickets. These tickets can then be converted to
Kerberos4 tickets.
.
Alternatively, the mode can be set to 'full', allowing Kerberos4
clients to get initial tickets even when preauthentication would
normally be required; to 'disable', returning protocol version errors
to all Kerberos4 clients; or to 'none', which tells the KDC to not
respond to Kerberos4 requests at all.
Template: krb5-kdc/run-krb524
Type: boolean
_Description: Run a Kerberos5 to Kerberos4 ticket conversion daemon?
Krb524d is a daemon that converts Kerberos5 tickets into Kerberos4 tickets
for the krb524init program.
.
It is recommended to enable that daemon if Kerberos4 is enabled,
especially when Kerberos4 compatibility is set to 'nopreauth'.
Template: krb5-kdc/purge_data_too
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Should the data be purged as well as the package files?
By default, purging this package will not delete the KDC database in
/var/lib/krb5kdc/principal since this database cannot be recovered once
it is deleted.
.
Choose this option if you wish to delete the KDC database when this package
is purged, deleting all of the user accounts and passwords in the KDC.
