  • pam.d authconfig symlinks missing in RHEL 6.6

    Posted on

    Deploying the same kickstart file with RHEL6.5 and then RHEL6.6 it appears that the pam.d authconfig symlinks are not created in the RHEL6.6 build.

    The symlinks I am referring to are:

    /etc/pam.d/fingerprint-auth -> /etc/pam.d/fingerprint-auth-ac
    /etc/pam.d/password-auth -> /etc/pam.d/password-auth-ac
    /etc/pam.d/smartcard-auth -> /etc/pam.d/smartcard-auth-ac
    /etc/pam.d/system-auth -> /etc/pam.d/system-auth-ac
    

    -edit-

    It is related to the other issue I raised with RHEL 6.6 installer
    https://access.redhat.com/discussions/1341583

    As with the above iptables issue, authconfig has been stripped from the minimal install, so if you don't include it explicitly it won't setup the above symlinks (and other auth configuration you specify).

    Hope someone finds this information useful.
