Description of problem: I use mDNS (Zeroconf/Avahi/Bonjour/etc) on my home network. My /etc/nsswitch.conf contains: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns I was testing SSSD and I ran authconfig --enablesssd --enablesssdauth --enablecachecreds --update to enable SSSD in my nsswitch.conf and pam config. That worked, but at the same time, it removed mdns4_minimal from my hosts settings. My nsswitch.conf only contained the basic hosts: files dns after running authconfig. Please preserve mdns4_minimal when running authconfig. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): authconfig-6.1.11-1.fc14 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. if necessary, install nss-mdns 2. verify mdns4_minimal is listed in /etc/nsswitch.conf for hosts 3. authconfig --enablesssd --enablesssdauth --enablecachecreds --update Actual results: mdns4_minimal is stripped from nsswitch.conf for hosts Expected results: mdns4_minimal is preserved Additional info: The nss-mdns post-install scriptlet adds mdns4_minimal to nsswitch.conf: $ rpm -q --scripts nss-mdns postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): /sbin/ldconfig # Perl-fu to add mdns4_minimal to the hosts line of /etc/nsswitch.conf if [ -f /etc/nsswitch.conf ] ; then sed -i.bak ' /^hosts:/ !b /\<mdns\(4\|6\)\?\(_minimal\)\?\>/ b s/\([[:blank:]]\+\)dns\>/\1mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns/g ' /etc/nsswitch.conf fi
This is fixed in the current version in rawhide.
I see now this is a duplicate of 645295. I searched bugzilla for "authconfig mdns4_minimal" before opening this and nothing showed up. Argh. Sorry for opening a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 645295 ***
