3.18 Authentication Configuration

If you are performing a workstation- or server installation, please skip ahead to Section 3.19, Package

Group Selection.

You may skip this section if you will not be setting up network passwords. If you do not know whether

you should do this, please ask your system administrator for assistance.

Unless you are setting up

NIS

authentication, you will notice that only

MD5

and

shadow

passwords

are selected (see Figure 3–20, Authentication Configuration). We recommend you use both to make

your machine as secure as possible.

To configure the NIS option, you must be connected to an NIS network. If you are not sure whether

you are connected to an NIS network, please ask your system administrator.
