Description Sean Dilda 2007-06-06 18:44:37 UTC 
I work in an environment that has a couple of UIDs that are less than 500.   We
use authconfig in setting up our machines and would like to be able to continue
to do this.   However, authconfig hardcodes a pam config that disallows UIDs
less than 500.

A couple of possible solutions would be to make these pam rules optional, or to
allow an authconfig option to allow us to specify what the minimum UID should be.
Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2007-06-06 18:48:34 UTC 
But this option already exists - 'Authenticate system accounts by network services'.
