From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/8.01 (Windows NT 5.0; U; en) Description of problem: If you make a kickstart installation and exclude the authconfig-paket (using "- authconfig" in ks.cfg) it results in a MISSING /etc/shadow. I didn't expected the authconfig-paket to be that important. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Exclude authconfig from Kickstart Installation (-authconfig in ks.cfg) 2. Install System 3. ls /etc/shadow -> file not found Actual Results: /etc/shadow is missing from the system. Expected Results: /etc/shadow should be there regardless of the authconfig-paket. Additional info: If the authconfig-paket is REQUIRED for the Redhat-Installation there should be some dependency, else the bug in the installation (anaconda) should be fixed which causes the missing of /etc/shadow.
This can't be solved in authconfig package itself. Reassigning.
We use authconfig for setting things up like this. So if you don't include authconfig, it's not going to happen.
