The kickstart auth option allow set must tyhe options you are settings
into %post.
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-kickstart2-options.html
has all you need. Look for auth/authconfig


> %post

> # equiv to running setup tool
> authconfig --kickstart --enableshadow --enablemd5 --enableldap
> --enableldapauth --ldapserver ldap.yourdomain.com --ldapbasedn
> dc=yourdomain,dc=com

Use this out %post. Look the link above.

Again, no necessary if using the above --enableldaptls.

OK

This is useful only if users connect through ssh.
Through samba use root preexec to create home dir automaticly.
For Linux clients use autofs.

My system works without change this.
