Enable NIS for system authentication
====================================

Selecting this profile will enable Network Information Services as the source
of identity and authentication providers.

NIS CONFIGURATION
-----------------

Authselect does not touch NIS configuration. Please, read NIS' documentation
to see how to configure it manually.

AVAILABLE OPTIONAL FEATURES
---------------------------

with-faillock::
    Enable account locking in case of too many consecutive
    authentication failures.

with-mkhomedir::
    Enable automatic creation of home directories for users on their
    first login.

with-fingerprint::
    Enable authentication with fingerprint reader through *pam_fprintd*.

    Enable pam-gnome-keyring support.

    Enable authentication via u2f dongle through *pam_u2f*.

with-pam-u2f-2fa::
    Enable 2nd factor authentication via u2f dongle through *pam_u2f*.

without-pam-u2f-nouserok::
    Module argument nouserok is omitted if also with-pam-u2f-2fa is used.
    *WARNING*: Omitting nouserok argument means that users without pam-u2f
    authentication configured will not be able to log in *INCLUDING* root.
    Make sure you are able to log in before losing root privileges.

    Do not produce pam_lastlog message during login.

    for NIS users as well as local users during password change. Without this
    option only local users passwords are checked.

without-nullok::
    Do not add nullok parameter to pam_unix.

DISABLE SPECIFIC NSSWITCH DATABASES

ignore value set by the profile and use the one set in user-nsswitch.conf
instead.
