So my personal experience with Fedora (going back to Fedora 12) in an
environment with nwtwork auth is that it never worked at install time. I
always eneded up createing a local account and then configuring the
network auth from there.  Sure I tried it when I could but when it
didn't work well I just ignored it and moved on.

If I'd thought it was more of an issue I would have filed bugs but it
was always an "it'd be nice" not a "must have".  I don't even recall
seeing an option for F18, and haven't tried the F19 betas myself.

Oh and black and blue stripes is the ONLY option for any bikesehd.

Yours Tony
