Description of problem: Using kickstart auth --useshadow --enablenis --nisdomain xxxxxxx no "NISDOMAIN=xxxxxxx" is found in /etc/sysconfig/network How reproducible: Always authconfig does not change the behavior. It works fine with fedora 6 and Redhat 4.5 and 5.0 (The same fault probably has been in older Versions, as there is a comment line #echo "NISDOMAIN=xxxxxxx" >> /etc/sysconfig/network in my %post section
I suspect something overwrites the /etc/sysconfig/network as written by authconfig. When I run authconfig standalone the command 'authconfig --useshadow --enablenis --nisdomain xxxxxx --update' works fine. Can you try to do that after install?
Sorry - It is not a bug: A fresh install without any changes has been ok! It took me a while to find out: The nis-domain is no longer set in /etc/sysconfig/network but in /etc/yp.conf - which is overwritten by me during %post installation!
