Thanks, will do!

Your suggestion worked. When I install from PXE, I have the postinstall
script in that part of the process create the config file you mentioned
and then use a statement in rc.local to do the dpkg-reconfigure for me.

I've got two last issues that I hope someone can help me with. When I
set both the dbc_authmethod_admin and dbc_authmethod_user to "ident" in
the config script, I still get a debconf pop-up for template item
dbconfig-common/db/app-user even though passwords aren't being used.
I've looked at the code, but I can't tell how to set or preseed a value
to suppress it.

Finally, after I purge the package and then reinstall during testing, I
get a notification that the template file has local modifications. Of
course it was previously removed when I purged the package, but dbconfig
continues to report the file as "modified". Is there something I can set
or delete to suppress this?

You can see the config files in the debian directory here:

This is happening on a stock, up-to-date Squeeze load. Thanks!

Tony
