AUTHCONFIG-GTK(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 AUTHCONFIG-GTK(8)

NAME

       authconfig-gtk, system-config-authentication - GUI utility for configuring user identity and system authentication services

SYNOPSIS

       authconfig-gtk [--nox] [--updateall] [--firstboot]

DESCRIPTION

       authconfig-gtk  provides  a  simple graphical user interface for configuring user identity and system authentication services.  It provides
       basic configuration options to handle NIS, LDAP, Kerberos 5, and Winbind client configuration.

OPTIONS

       If the --nox option is specified, authconfig command line utility is run instead of the GUI.

       The --updateall option forces overwriting of all configuration files not only the files affected by the changes made in the  user  interac-
       tion with the GUI.  This option can be useful in case the configuration files are broken by manual editing.

       The --firstboot option is to be used only when firstboot utility runs the GUI during the first setup of the system after installation.

RETURN CODES

       authconfig-gtk returns 0 on success, non zero on error.
