Just edit system-auth directly. authconfig is okay for doing some initial configuration, but once you get beyond that, you'll have to just edit the files directly.
Again, the top of the system-auth file has comments saying it is auto-generated and any changes made to it will be overwritten by authconfig, which makes me hesitant to change the file, as the changes may not stick. It seems your info contradicts the file's own warnings, not saying you are wrong, but trying to find the right answer compared to what the file itself says.
Curious and confused.
Thanks.

I'm new the the PAM world and have CentOS 5 64-bit installed on a system. I want to tweak some of the system-auth module settings, but the top of the file says anything configured in that file will get overwritten, as it is autogenerated by authconfig.
I checked out authconfig, and it doesn't seem clear to me how to make the changes I need via authconfig.
So, where do I need to look? What utility/file do I touch?
Thanks.
