How about "Set root password and network authentication methods 
(advanced)"

BTW, how much in the way of changes to auth setup (either during install 
or splitting it as drakxtool) will be possible? I fear too little .. but I 
have configs for kerberos authentication to win2k/win2k3, mostly intended 
for winbind if samba3 goes final in time, but I can't spend the time to 
try and work on it in drakX. If it were possible to split out the basics 
of the GUIs from drakX into a standalone, I can take a look at getting 
chkauth (lacking a better method for now) to work with user-modified 
configs.

How would you prefer to have the auth tools improved?

It would be cool to have Active Directory authentication available 
(kerberos/winbind3), but maybe that is something for after 9.2, so I can 
test it in production first ...

Buchan
