Summary     : Command line tool for setting up authentication from network services
Description :
Authconfig is a command line utility which can configure a workstation
to use shadow (more secure) passwords.  Authconfig can also configure a
system to be a client for certain networked user information and
authentication schemes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Glibc introduced new initgroups entry into nsswitch.conf which causes incompatibility with the current authconfig release. This update fixes the incompatibility. Run 'authconfig --updateall' if you use network user identity services and you're affected by the bug 750388.
