re-setting the defaults

re-setting the defaults

[Glenn at home]

I am wondering how I can re-set the defaults with a program like proftpd.  I 
would like to go through the same set of setup questions that I had 
initially, as I was not quite to using the speakup keys, and I think I made 
some choices that I would like to change, and in reading the conf file, I am 
not sure of the changes.
So, can I delete the proftpd.conf file, and run
dselect install proftpd
and get the choices again?
Thanks.
Glenn

run dpkg--reconfigure with that program to get the choices again.  I can't
remember if that command is one or two dashes.  You could also try apt-get
install --reinstall with that program.

Yes, that's 2 dashes, and you forgot a space in there as in:

dpkg --reconfigure

Check your facts. Its no space and one dash as in:

dpkg-reconfigure <packagename>

The dpkg-reconfigure command is a program, not a reconfigure option to
dpkg.

Oops, sorry about that. It's been a while since I used debian. Guess I
better not offer comments on it until I start using it again (smile).
