RHEA-2008:0736 - Product Enhancement Advisory
Synopsis
authconfig enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated authconfig packages that add enhancements are now available.
Description
The authconfig packages contain a terminal mode and a GUI mode program to
configure a workstation to use shadow passwords, or to be a client for
certain network user information and authentication schemes.
These updated packages add the following enhancements:
- the command line "--enablepamaccess" option for the authconfig utility
has been added. This allows administrators to configure the authentication
process to run the pam_access module during account authorization.
- the command line "--passalgo" option for the authconfig utility has been
added. This allows administrators to set up new password hashing algorithms
for systems, so that when users change passwords, the new passwords are
stored using the SHA-256 or SHA-512 hashes.
Users of authconfig are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
add these enhancements.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
