  The OpenLDAP project also https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/security.html#TCP%20Wrappers[discourages their use] and recommends that an IP firewall is used instead.

  With this update, OpenLDAP will not be configured with `--enable-wrappers` and so any TCP wrappers configuration will have no effect on OpenLDAP.

  Other means should be used to protect the OpenLDAP server.

+ == Replace authconfig with authselect

+ 

+ Fedora 28 replaces authconfig with authselect as the default tool for generating PAM configuration files and nsswitch.conf.

+ On new installations, authselect, together with an authconfig compatibility tool, will be installed by default instead of authconfig.

+ On upgraded installations, authconfig will be replaced with authselect and the compatibility tool but the configuration generated by authconfig will be left intact.

+ The authconfig compatibility tool will be removed from Fedora in a future release.

+ The https://github.com/pbrezina/authselect/tree/master/src/man/authselect-migration.7.txt.in.in[authselect-migration(7)] man page explains how to migrate from authconfig to authselect.

This PR contains the draft release note for Issue #76: 'Make authselect default tool instead of authconfig'. @pbrezina please would you review the text and let me know if anything needs to be added, changed or removed?

The text looks good to me. Thank you.

It may be worth mentioning that the compatibility tool (run via authconfig command) will be removed in some future Fedora version so it is recommended to switch to authselect in scripts. But I'm not sure if it belongs to release notes.

Thank you, @pbrezina. I have added a sentence to say that the authconfig compatibility tool will be removed in a future Fedora release.
