Description of problem: When using an external authentication method (for example - LDAP), then home directories for users aren't created as part of the user creating process. Home directories then need to be created either manually or by adding pam_mkhomedir to the session section in /etc/pam.d/system-auth. Enabling pam_mkhomedir should best be done automatically when needed, and as authconfig is the tool used in Fedora to enable external authentication, then its probably a good idea to have authconfig also automatically add the pam_mkhomedir to the pam.d configuration when such authentication methods are enabled.
