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 ...
