Kevin,
Kickstart just calls the authconfig command, so any switch from the
authconfig command will work in kickstart. I've also found that
'authconfig --help' shows different options than 'man authconfig'.
'authconfig --help' shows that there is a disable option for shadow,
which is not listed in the man page:
$ authconfig --help | grep shadow
--enableshadow, --useshadow
enable shadowed passwords by default
--disableshadow disable shadowed passwords by default
--
