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.
