Synopsis
authconfig bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated authconfig packages that fix a bug are now available.
Description
The authconfig packages contain a program with both a command line and a
GUI interface for configuring a system to use shadow passwords, or to
function as a client for certain network user-information and
authentication schemes.
- when disabling caching using the system-config-authentication graphical
interface or with the "authconfig --update --disablecache" command,
authconfig did not properly stop ncsd, the name service cache daemon, which
could have caused timeouts and delays during authentication or when user
information was requested by applications. (BZ#471642)
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated authconfig packages, which
resolve this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
