/usr/bin/authconfig is part of the 'authconfig' package, which should be
installed.  In RHEL5/CentOS5, the package is authconfig-5.3.12-2.el5. If
you want to continue using that HOWTO, make sure that package is
installed.

As for what you do, try running authconfig-tui which is a text-mode UI
for authconfig.  Looks like using the TUI interface will be easier to
follow in their HOWTO than doing it all on the command line.
