[SSSD] how are my home dirs getting created?

On the wiki for SSSD, it says that sss_useradd doesn't create /home dirs 
but that you can use pam_mkhomedir to set it up. I haven't knowingly set 
that up, but all the new users I'm creating have home dirs. Where/how 
can I check what's configured?

I'm using the /etc/pam.d/system-auth config from the wiki page, on F11, 
with Source RPM: sssd-0.8.0-0.2009110515git9d56215.fc11.src.rpm

[root at alice ~]# getent passwd newUser01
newUser01:x:508:508:newUser01:/home/newUser01:/bin/bash
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root at alice ~]# ll /home/
