| This seems fair by me. I wonder whether this should deserve a
| transition or just move the binary....After all, nologin is not here
| since a long time so it's pretty unlikely that many packages use it
| (for instance to define it as some created users shell).
|
| I'm tempted to avoid a complicated transition. Advices?
I've CC'd packages where I've been advogating nologin in Debian. The
binary is not yet widely used, so just move it so that we can get full
potential of nologin to forthcoming etch.
| I think that this suggestion should go to upstream as well. Having
| nologin in /bin does not make sense only for Debian, of course.

| Tomasz?
Than would be FreeBSD devel list. I'm not sure which list, but I've
added CC to:
freebsd-qa@freebsd.org
| Jari, I'm OK with you cloning this bug report and reassign a "please
| move nologin to /bin" bug to login.
created new one.
