Odd, this option was not on my manpage. And it didn't work on one of my servers. I have two CentOS 5 servers, but one is at revision 5.3, the other running 5.1. The RPMs are: authconfig-5.3.12-2.el5 - doesn't work authconfig: error: no such option: --enablemkhomedir authconfig-5.3.21-5.el5 - works fine! Perhaps only very recent versions support this? The reason I ask is that I have dozens of servers that will need this configuration, but only some are running Red Hat or CentOS versions new enough to support the command line option.
