From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux; en_US, fr) KHTML/3.5.0 (like Gecko) Description of problem: It is impossible to run the 'Authentification Configuration' part of the setup tool. This is rather important and must be fixed before fc5 final. Note: The component that has the bug may be authconfig instead of setuptool. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): setuptool-1.17.3-1.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fc5test2 2. Log in as root 3. Run /usr/sbin/setup in a terminal 3. Select 'Authentification Configuration' 'Run Tool' Actual Results: The terminal switches from the blue-and-red setup colors back to the original terminal schema colors, the authconfig 'usage' message appears on the terminal for a short period of time, and then the blue-and-red main setup menu reappears. All this happens in a very short period of time (~0.3s). Expected Results: The menu for Authentification Configuration (authconfig) should appear. Additional info: It looks like running 'Authentification Configuration' executes authconfig with the wrong options/context, resulting in an error and the 'usage' printed.
The setuptool launcher is attempting to run "/usr/share/authconfig/authconfig-tui.py". To help narrow this down, are you able to run this script directly?
Running /usr/share/authconfig/authconfig-tui.py works, in that the authconfig red-and-blue menu appears and the user can select options.
The existing configuration gives /usr/sbin/authconfig and /usr/share/authconfig/authconfig-tui.py equal precedence, so setuptool was launching the first one it found. After fixing that, I noticed that the precedence-sorting code wasn't working correctly, so that needed to be fixed as well. Both will be fixed in 1.18-1. Thanks!
