RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
@pavel in my case (the closed bug) it was a brand new installation with no other configuration when authconfig was run and did not set the correct options in the PAM configs. This looks to also be quite an old bug, will a fix be rolled out for EL7 or 8 or is authconfig being replaced?
Authconfig is already replaced by authselect in RHEL8. So only critical issues will be fixed in RHEL7 and even though I would like to fix this one there has not been QA capacity to test it so it was never approved to be fixed. It is quite likely that it will be closed without a fix, since a workaround (fix it manually) exist.
Authconfig has been replaced by Authselect in RHEL8 therefore only critical issues that have no workaround available will be fixed. Closing as won't fix.
