Hi folks, me once again. In my postinst I need to generate a MD5 crypted password hash out of a userdefined password. Both of them have to replace the defaults in a MySQL dump file, which I tend to do the following way, unless there is a better solution: depend on mkpasswd ask the user for a password via debconf (store in $CLEARPASS) and then do HASH=`mkpasswd -S 35348090 -H md5 $CLEARPASS` and afterwards the usual sed -e "s/default/"$HASH"/;" ... Is this OK in the postinst, especially the dependency on mkpasswd? Are there better solutions around? All that I found with google & Co were perl and several binary packages :/ Thanks Daniel -- mfg Daniel Knabl http://www.tirolinux.net PGP Fingerprint daniel@aio4u.com A069 671B 39F2 E9B9 FB34 68BB 4BEC 1344 C8A4 3F0B
