[03:27] <titosupreme> The sum of the multiplicative identity and its opposite is the additive  (is it sometimes, always, or never?)

[07:56] <twb> I was trying to abuse update-passwd (from base-passwd) to keep some system accounts in sync in my LXC containers.
[07:56] <twb> Unfortunately AFAICT update-passwd 1) ignores gshadow; and 2) puts *s instead of xs in shadow.
[07:57] <twb> This makes me thing there's some other layer that runs at d-i time, when it asks me "do you want shadow passwords", but I can't see WHERE that is.
[07:59] <twb> Ah, shadowconfig

[15:01] <ev> I've also put openssh-server on them so we can get in and reboot should the hudson slave fail to make a connection to the master
[15:01] <cjwatson> ok, thanks
