Subject: [PATCH] mkhomedir: add support for pre-CVE-2020-10737 behavior
Pre-CVE-2020-10737 behavior was used to allow creating home directories
on NFS mounts when non-Kerberos authentication method is in use. This is
exactly the case where a race condition addressed by the CVE-2020-10737
fix could have happened. However, there are legit use cases where this
setup is needed.
Add '-f' option to mkhomedir helper to activate previous behavior. In
order to enable it, a change to oddjobd-mkhomedir.conf configuration
file is needed by explicitly adding '-f' option to the executable file
definition.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2050079
