Description of problem: I installed pam_ssh and pam_afs_session, then ran authconfig(-tui). Neither module occurs in the list of pam modules, so I had to configure them manually. Needless to say, if I use the tool again, it would overwrite my changes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.2.1-1.fc17 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install pam_ssh or pam_afs_session 2. Run authconfig-tui to enable them 3. Actual results: New pam modules don't appear in the list. Expected results: New pam modules should appear in the list, so that they can be selected and would be configured correctly. Additional info:
authconfig purpose is not to configure any pam module that can be installed. If you want to customize the pam configuration you need to replace the {system-,password-,fingerprint-,smartcard-}auth symlinks pointing to the *-ac files to point to different files with your customized configuration. Authconfig will never modify the symlinks. See also system-auth-ac manual page.
(In reply to comment #1) > authconfig purpose is not to configure any pam module that can be installed. Hmm, what's it worth, then? Maybe Fedora folks should take a look at Debians pam-auth-update for some inspiration ;)
