The article you quoted tells you how to do that....
authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=sha512

Rawhide isn't a specific version, it's an automatically built  
distribution of whatever the latest versions of all the packages are  
in the source repository.  It's intended for use by developers doing  
testing and it is frequently broken or unstable.  What the comment  
means is that if you want it now you have to get it from Rawhide and  
hope you can make it work, otherwise you have to wait until the next  
release, which will include these changes.
