Having updated to F29 from F27 (which seems to be generally working well
:) ), I have one issue with our systems due to the new authselect system.
When I enable the nis (YP) system for logins the /etc/nsswitch.conf file
loses the "mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]" for hosts searches. One
result of this is that when you try and add a printer (at least using
KDE/PLASMA), and the printer is discovered using DNS_SD, then at the
final adding stage the printer is not actually added (does not appear in
the list of printers etc). There are no error messages to the user
(always a bad failing of Fedora/Linux/MsWindows in general), but looking
under the hood it is due to part of the CUPS system not being able to
resolve the <hostname>.local network host address as mdns4_minimal is
not being used.
I have been setting up nis using: "authconfig --enablenis
--nisdomain=<domain> --nisserver=<server> --update". This appears to
call authselect as:
"authselect select nis with-fingerprint with-silent-lastlog --force"
So should I be using a different, direct, authselect command to fix
this, or is it a bug in the authselect system ?
