    Yes, use --force. That tells authselect that it is OK to overwrite your
    manual configuration. Otherwise, authselect is careful to not overwrite
    files that have been edited manually.


Sigh, authselect is even more complicated than I thought. I can't simply do "sudo authselect apply-changes --force". I need to do "sudo authselect select $something --force" first, according to the man page. And I have no idea what $something is. Can you please provide an exact set of commands to run? Thanks.

apply-changes only works if you have valid authselect configuration (no manual changes) and you edit /etc/authselect/user-nsswitch.conf or one of the selected profile template.

If you need to restore previous configuration you can either use backup-restore (if there is any backup, see backup-list) or you can use 'authselect current --raw' which will print you what authselect command line was used.

authselect select `authselect current --raw` --force

The default in Fedora is 'authselect select sssd' with optional with-fingerprint and with-mkhomedir.
