It's similar to - the authconfig command, which can be run after the install. By - default, passwords are normally encrypted and are not shadowed. + Sets up the authentication options for the system. This is just a + wrapper around the authconfig program, so all options recognized + by that program are valid for this command. See the manual page for + authconfig for a complete list. - --enablemd5 - - Use md5 encryption for user passwords. - - --enablenis - - Turns on NIS support. By default, --enablenis uses whatever - domain it finds on the network. A domain should almost always - be set by hand with the --nisdomain= option. - - --nisdomain= - - NIS domain name to use for NIS services. - - --nisserver= - - Server to use for NIS services (broadcasts by default). - - --useshadow or --enableshadow - - Use shadow passwords. - - --enableldap - - Turns on LDAP support in /etc/nsswitch.conf, allowing your - system to retrieve information about users (UIDs, home - directories, shells, etc.) from an LDAP directory. To use - this option, you must install the nss_ldap package. You must - also specify a server and a base DN with --ldapserver= and - --ldapbasedn=. - - --enableldapauth - - Use LDAP as an authentication method. This enables the - pam_ldap module for authentication and changing passwords, - using an LDAP directory. To use this option, you must have the - nss_ldap package installed. You must also specify a server - and a base DN with --ldapserver= and --ldapbasedn=. - - --ldapserver= - - If you specified either --enableldap or --enableldapauth, use - this option to specify the name of the LDAP server to use. - This option is set in the /etc/ldap.conf file. - - --ldapbasedn= - - If you specified either --enableldap or --enableldapauth, use - this option to specify the DN (distinguished name) in your - LDAP directory tree under which user information is stored. - This option is set in the /etc/ldap.conf file. - - --enableldaptls - - Use TLS (Transport Layer Security) lookups. This option allows - LDAP to send encrypted usernames and passwords to an LDAP - server before authentication. - - --enablekrb5 - - Use Kerberos 5 for authenticating users. Kerberos itself does - not know about home directories, UIDs, or shells. So if you - enable Kerberos you will need to make users' accounts known to - this workstation by enabling LDAP, NIS, or Hesiod or by using - the /usr/sbin/useradd command to make their accounts known to - this workstation. If you use this option, you must have the - pam_krb5 package installed. - - --krb5realm= - - The Kerberos 5 realm to which your workstation belongs. - - --krb5kdc= - - The KDC (or KDCs) that serve requests for the realm. If you - have multiple KDCs in your realm, separate their names with - commas (,). - - --krb5adminserver= - - The KDC in your realm that is also running kadmind. This - server handles password changing and other administrative - requests. This server must be run on the master KDC if you - have more than one KDC. - - --enablehesiod - - Enable Hesiod support for looking up user home directories, - UIDs, and shells. More information on setting up and using - Hesiod on your network is in - /usr/share/doc/glibc-2.x.x/README.hesiod, which is included in - the glibc package. Hesiod is an extension of DNS that uses DNS - records to store information about users, groups, and various - other items. - - --hesiodlhs - - The Hesiod LHS ("left-hand side") option, set in - /etc/hesiod.conf. This option is used by the Hesiod library to - determine the name to search DNS for when looking up - information, similar to LDAP's use of a base DN. - - --hesiodrhs - - The Hesiod RHS ("right-hand side") option, set in - /etc/hesiod.conf. This option is used by the Hesiod library to - determine the name to search DNS for when looking up - information, similar to LDAP's use of a base DN. - - Tip - - To look up user information for "jim", the Hesiod library - looks up jim.passwd<LHS><RHS>, which should resolve to a TXT - record that looks like what his passwd entry would look like - (jim:*:501:501:Jungle Jim:/home/jim:/bin/bash). For groups, - the situation is identical, except jim.group<LHS><RHS> would - be used. - - Looking up users and groups by number is handled by making - "501.uid" a CNAME for "jim.passwd", and "501.gid" a CNAME for - "jim.group". Note that the LHS and RHS do not have periods [.] - put in front of them when the library determines the name for - which to search, so the LHS and RHS usually begin with - periods. - - --enablesmbauth - - Enables authentication of users against an SMB server - (typically a Samba or Windows server). SMB authentication - support does not know about home directories, UIDs, or shells. - So if you enable it you will need to make users' accounts - known to the workstation by enabling LDAP, NIS, or Hesiod or - by using the /usr/sbin/useradd command to make their accounts - known to the workstation. To use this option, you must have - the pam_smb package installed. - - --smbservers= - - The name of the server(s) to use for SMB authentication. To - specify more than one server, separate the names with commas - (,). - - --smbworkgroup= - - The name of the workgroup for the SMB servers. - - --enablecache - - Enables the nscd service. The nscd service caches information - about users, groups, and various other types of information. - Caching is especially helpful if you choose to distribute - information about users and groups over your network using - NIS, LDAP, or hesiod. + By default, passwords are normally encrypted and are not shadowed. bootloader (required) @@ -613,9 +462,9 @@ Creating the Kickstart File lang en_US - The file /usr/share/redhat-config-language/locale-list provides a + The file /usr/share/system-config-language/locale-list provides a list the valid language codes in the first column of each line and - is part of the redhat-config-languages package. + is part of the system-config-languages package. langsupport @@ -690,6 +539,30 @@ Creating the Kickstart File volgroup myvg pv.01 logvol / --vgname=myvg --size=2000 --name=rootvol + monitor + + --hsync= + + Specifies the horizontal sync frequency of the monitor. + + --monitor= + + Use specified monitor; monitor name should be from the list of + monitors in /usr/share/hwdata/MonitorsDB from the hwdata + package.
