    Hi All!

    I'm working on a project to deploy Internet workstations in a number of local sorority houses and the solution I would like to pitch is based on the Debian distro. I need this to be as automated as possible, so I have a question regarding debconf.

    These machines will be checking for updates each day via secpack but they will physically be in a closet or something similar. My concern is if a package gets updated and debconf then prompts the user for input, there will no one to catch this. Is there a way to configure debconf to accept the default variable and move on?

    This is the only thing that I can possibly see that would hinder the acceptance and rollout of the Debian based solution that I'm working on. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?

    Thanx!

    Maria
