Hi !

If roots umask is 077 authconfig sets /etc/nsswitch.conf mode to 0600 and
after that normal users can't read the file and fail to resolve own
hostname etc... (for example emacs takes ages to start)

I've included a small patch that should chmod the /etc/nsswitch.conf to
0644. (Note: Somebody should check more thoroughly if umask 077 breaks
anything else in authconfig).
