+pam_mkhomedir — PAM module to create users home directory
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+The pam_mkhomedir PAM module will create a users home directory if it does not
+exist when the session begins. This allows users to be present in central
+database (such as NIS, kerberos or LDAP) without using a distributed file
+system or pre-creating a large number of directories. The skeleton directory
+(usually /etc/skel/) is used to copy default files and also sets a umask for
+the creation.
+
+The new users home directory will not be removed after logout of the user.
+
+EXAMPLES
+
+A sample /etc/pam.d/login file:
+
+ auth requisite pam_securetty.so
+ auth sufficient pam_ldap.so
+ auth required pam_unix.so
+ auth required pam_nologin.so
+ account sufficient pam_ldap.so
+ account required pam_unix.so
+ password required pam_unix.so
+ session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022
+ session required pam_unix.so
+ session optional pam_lastlog.so
+ session optional pam_mail.so standard
