Until we have the ability to install local configuration packages that frob stuff in /etc and install krb5.conf, popping up a dialog asking for a kadmin password and creating a ticket file isn't going to work very well. Is there any reason all of this security stuff can't be relegated to a package? Seems like it would be much better than constantly hacking on sysinstall and the ability to have interactive packages does exist I believe. *shrug* I think this discussion fails to consider the ability of the average BOFH to ignore what everyone here thinks and just do stuff their own way. Optimize for the Linux and Windows weenies; they're the ones that are going to be dealing with the install procedure the most. -- | Matthew N.
