Having updated to F29 from F27 (which seems to be generally working well :) ), I have one issue with our systems due to the new authselect system.

When I enable the nis (YP) system for logins the /etc/nsswitch.conf file loses the "mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]" for hosts searches. One result of this is that when you try and add a printer (at least using KDE/PLASMA), and the printer is discovered using DNS_SD, then at the final adding stage the printer is not actually added (does not appear in the list of printers etc). There are no error messages to the user (always a bad failing of Fedora/Linux/MsWindows in general), but looking under the hood it is due to part of the CUPS system not being able to resolve the <hostname>.local network host address as mdns4_minimal is not being used.

I have been setting up nis using: "authconfig --enablenis --nisdomain=<domain> --nisserver=<server> --update". This appears to call authselect as:

"authselect select nis with-fingerprint with-silent-lastlog --force"

So should I be using a different, direct, authselect command to fix this, or is it a bug in the authselect system ?
