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.

OPTIONS


silent

Don't print informative messages.

umask=mask

The user file-creation mask is set to mask. The default value of mask is 0022.

skel=/path/to/skel/directory

Indicate an alternative \FCskel\F[] directory to override the default \FC/etc/skel\F[].
