Here, Here! I was about to post essentially the same thing.  Especially
considering that at least one of the duplicates and a number of comments
were added by me.  The fact that this bug has persisted so long is
embarrassing.  Yes, it's easy to work around as long as you remember to
never run authconfig again, but seeing as that's the "supported" method
for changing pam/nss configuration, having to remember to make this one
line change every time seems a little broken.
