Description David Spurek 2013-12-03 16:25:04 UTC

Description of problem:
/etc/sysconfig/authconfig doesn't exist by default on rhel7. If you call 'authconfig --enablekrb5 --update' for example, /etc/sysconfig/authconfig file is created with some options. Authconfig loads current setup from /etc/nsswitch.conf and from /etc/pam.d in this case. I think that values after this step couldn't be marked as default values.


I propose to add a comment that /etc/sysconfig/authconfig doesn't exist after installation. Options description can stay, but 'default values' should be removed from documentation, they are misleading.
