An article how the authselect tool works, how you create and maintain custom profiles and how to apply them.
I stumbled upon this topic in context of configuring pam to enable u2f smartcard support.

I'm going to approve this but the normal process is to pose your article topic and outline to the editors via the Fedora Magazine discussion board rather than opening a new Pagure ticket. Two of the editors then approve it and open and assign the ticket to you.
But I don't believe there is likely to be discussion on this, so it's yours.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't intent to be rude / violate the procedure. I'll keep it in mind for the future.
This article was just mentioned on card #177. Beware, however, that there seems to be a problem with the PAM stack configuration I suggested. I just tested adding those two lines to the system-auth file and, while it seems to work for authentication, it seems to break the crond service. With those lines in place, I'm seeing the following when I run crontab -l.
crontab -l
$ crontab -l You (glb) are not allowed to access to (crontab) because of pam configuration.
And in the system log I'm seeing the following.
crontab[2909066]: (glb) PAM ERROR (The return value should be ignored by PAM dispatch)
I do not know why those lines are causing the crond service to fail.
@w4tsn Is this article still on your todo list?

@mariowritescode I've done an edit pass on your article. One paragraph was moved to the beginning of the article as a "teaser"/intro (it fit well there). Some other minor wording changes for clarity and removing passive voice but over all it looks pretty good.
I added a featured image as well. Hopefully it is appropriate.
Now would be a good time to do a final read through to make any further changes before we schedule it.
Thanks for you effort on this article.
