Before I go changing system-auth by hand I would like to see if there
is some way to get it working with the authconfig tool.  This makes it
easier for me to maintain consistency and configure multiple systems.
 Here is what is in my system-auth file now, and this was generated
with the following command.  Is the authconfig tool actually
generating a "bad" configuration file?  If so should this be
considered a bug?

/usr/sbin/authconfig --enablemkhomedir --enableldap --enableldapauth
--enablecache --ldapserver=example.company.com
--ldapbasedn="dc=company,dc=com" --enableldaptls --kickstart --update

#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
