DESCRIPTION
       authconfig provides a simple method of configuring /etc/sysconfig/network to handle
       NIS, as well as /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, the files  used  for  shadow  password
       support.   Basic LDAP, Kerberos 5, and SMB (authentication) client configuration is
       also provided.

       The authconfig window contains a Cancel button by default. If --back  is  specified
       at run time, a Back button is presented instead. If --test is specified, authconfig
       can be run by users other then root, and any configuration changes are  not  saved.
       If --nostart is specified (which is what the install program does), ypbind will not
       be started or stopped immediately following program execution, but only enabled  to
       start  or  stop  at  boot time. if --kickstart is specified, no interactive screens
       will be seen.  The values the program will use will be those specified by the other
       options (--enablemd5, --enableshadow, etc.).

       The --enablenis, --enableldap, --enablewinbind, and --enablehesiod options are used
       to configure user information services  in  /etc/nsswitch.conf,  the  --enablecache
       option  is  used  to  configure  naming  services  caching, and the --enableshadow,
       --enablemd5, --enableldapauth, --enablekrb5, --enablewinbindauth,  and  --enablesm-
       bauth options are used to configure authentication functions via /etc/pam.d/system-
       auth.  Each --enable has a matching --disable option that disables the  service  if
       it  is  already  enabled.  The  respective services have parameters which configure
       their server names etc.

       The --probe flag instructs authconfig to use DNS and other means to guess  at  con-
       figuration  information for the current host, print its guesses if it finds them to
       standard output, and exit.

       The default in kickstart mode (i.e. without  any  additional  options)  is  to  not
       change the current settings.


RETURN CODES
       authconfig  returns  0 on success, 2 on error, and 1 if the user cancelled the pro-
       gram (by using either the Cancel or Back button).


FILES
       /etc/sysconfig/authconfig
              Used to track whether or not particular authentication mechanisms are
              enabled.   Currently  includes  variables  named  USESHADOW,  USEMD5,
              USEKERBEROS,  USELDAPAUTH,  USESMBAUTH,  USEWINBIND,  USEWINBINDAUTH,
              USEHESIOD, USENIS, USELDAP.
       /etc/passwd,
              Used for shadow password support.
       /etc/yp.conf
              Configuration file for NIS support.
       /etc/sysconfig/network
              Another configuration file for NIS support.
       /etc/ldap.conf
              /etc/openldap/ldap.conf Used to configure LDAP (and OpenLDAP, respec-
              tively).
       /etc/krb5.conf
              Used to configure Kerberos 5.
       /etc/krb.conf
              Used to configure Kerberos IV (write-only).
       /etc/hesiod.conf
              Used to configure Hesiod.
       /etc/pam_smb.conf
              Used to configure SMB authentication.
       /etc/samba/smb.conf
              Used to configure winbind authentication.
       /etc/nsswitch.conf
              Used to configure user information services.
       /etc/pam.d/system-auth
              Used to configure PAM for system services via pam_stack(8).
