Description Brian Dudek 2011-04-21 14:32:42 UTC 
Description of problem:

--updateall does not update ldap.conf file:
# authconfig --updateall --ldapserver=ldap://test.dom.edu

--update DOES correctly update ldap.conf
# authconfig --update --ldapserver=ldap://test.dom.edu

Looks contradictory to the man page?

Man page snip
#############
If --update  action is specified, authconfig must be run by root (or through console helper), and  configuration  changes are saved. Only the files affected by the configuration changes are overwritten.  If --updateall action  is  specified,  authconfig must be run by root (or through console helper), and all configuration files are written.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-22 06:00:11 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 3 Tomas Mraz 2011-04-26 06:31:46 UTC 
This will be fixed in the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 update release.
