hi list i'm looking at how debconf manages configuration, especially passwords. i've a broken installation of cacti on a debian woody. i put a wrong passwd and debconf doesn't ask (dpkg-reconfigre or dpkg -P & --reinstall) me again package configuration. i can see in /var/lib/dpkg/info/cacti.postinst 33 get_config() 34 { 35 db_get cacti/mysql_server 36 mysql_server="$RET" 37 db_get cacti/database 38 database="$RET" 39 db_get cacti/root_mysql 40 root_mysql="root@localhost" 41 db_get cacti/root_password 42 root_passwd="none" 43 db_get cacti/username 44 username="cacti" 45 db_get cacti/password 46 password="cacti" 47 db_get cacti/webserver 48 webserver="$RET" 49 } where is this info stored ? how can i modify it ? /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat doesn't exist any ideas ? thanks ! -- jorge salamero . bencer qzbit bencer@bencer.org . 526715@celes.unizar.es http://bencer.org . linux reg user #318695 debian gnu/linux ppc unstable
