NAME

       pam_mkhomedir - PAM module to create user home directories on demand


SYNOPSIS

       [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_mkhomedir [options]


DESCRIPTION

       The MKHOMEDIR session module creates users home directories on demand,
       if it does not already exist. It also sets the users home to a default
       mode of 0755, but can changed in the PAM config. Furthermore, it copies
       dot files from the skel - per default /usr/share/skel, but this option
       can be also overwritten in the PAM config

       The following options may be passed to the session module

        debug           syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.>

        mode=ABCD       permission for the HOME directory - defaults to 0755
                        in chmod(2) format

        skel=directory  skel directory to use - defaults to /usr/share/skel

       The reason for this module was to create users on a ldap directory and
       create their home directories automatically when they logon the first
       time on the machine
