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 + + +AUTHOR + +pam_mkhomedir was written by Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@debian.org>. + |
