Name
pam_mkhomedir - PAM module to create users home directory
Synopsis
pam_mkhomedir.so [silent] [umask=mode] [skel=skeldir] | |
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 \FC/etc/skel/\F[]) 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.
