I'am not certain I understood  what you told me ...
anyway, I keep up to date my openldap clients, with autorpm 
(http://www.autorpm.org)  running on a local redhat mirror in 
combination with cfengine (http://www.cfengine.org)  which is in charge 
of configuring (editting system-auth file here !).

But why RedHat gives a system-auth file that is not working properly by 
default ?? who knows ....
