RHEL 3 has the authconfig command where I can run "authconfig
--kickstart --nisdomain foo --enablenis --nisserver
server1,server2,server3". When I do this, yp.conf is populated like this:
domain foo server server1
ypserver server2
ypserver server3
When I try to specify multiple NIS servers in ks.cfg, anaconda blindly
adds one line to yp.conf:
domain foo server server1,server2,server3
My auth line in ks.cfg follows:
auth --nisdomain foo --nisserver server1,server2,server3 --enablenis
--useshadow
Why does the auth line in ks.cfg have a single-server limitation when
authconfig does not? Doesn't anaconda just run authconfig --kickstart?
I'm not a python programmer and have a hard time following the
setAuthentication code and how id.auth is used to populate yp.conf.
Thanks for any ideas. If the above auth line is not supported (I
understand it's not in the docs), I plan to submit an RFE and Issue
Tracker with Red Hat support.
