Hmm....for a public guide, shouldn't the solution be public as well?

It's public to anyone who has a subscription to the operating system for which the guide is written ;)

Your point is well taken though. Reading a doc that sends you to another doc is beyond a slight annoyance. When authoring the patch, there were really two reasons I had for sending to access.redhat.com:

1) As any underlying components and processes change, that URL will stay constant, and big RHT will maintain currency. I'm not sure if anyone within SSG will be monitoring CAC enablement that closely which is why my own initial reaction was to post to a known authoritative and known current document;

2) I rarely hear of CAC enablement going as straightforward as the docs say, and SSG shouldn't be a helpdesk for those seeking CAC configurations. I'd rather have big RHT handle that, and by giving the URL to access.redhat.com, users are put into a help forum where they can post comments, tell big RHT that CAC is broke, etc.
