16:22 Changeset [24009] by geofft
Two user-friendliness tweaks to the installer. - If you have ubuntu-desktop installed, suggest using sudo to become root. - Don't prompt about debathena-build-depends; it's a strange question for normals, and devs are assumed to be able to know how to install this package on their own.
10:01 Changeset [24008] by geofft
In ssh-server-config: * Add a warning if a user logs in without tickets or tokens. (Trac: #205) Patch by Jessica Hamrick <jhamrick@mit.edu>.

15:43 Changeset [24001] by geofft
In printing-config: * Insert LPROPT at the beginning of the options, rather than after the first option (which may accidentally split an option and its arguments). * Fix some issues with transformations to the 'args' variable sticking around for a larger scope than they were intended to.
