Hi
I want to know which profile will be called when a user without home directory is created.

fwb_compile_all
fwb_compile_all(1) Firewall Builder fwb_compile_all(1)
NAME
fwb_compile_all - Wrapper script that compiles policies for multiple firewall objects
SYNOPSIS
fwb_compile_all -ffile.xml [-dwdir] [-av] [obj[ obj ...]]
DESCRIPTION
fwb_compile_all is a wrapper script that compiles policies for several firewall objects in one batch job. This script takes a list of fire-
wall object names on the command line (or '-a' command line option, see below) and calls policy compiler for each one. The script correctly
determines which policy compiler is needed depending on the firewall platform of each object.
OPTIONS
-a The script processes all firewall objects in the "/Firewalls" subtree.
-d wdir
Specify working directory. Compiler creates file with iptables script in this directory. If this parameter is missing, then ipta-
bles script will be placed in the current working directory.
-f FILE
Specify the name of the data file to be processed.
-v Script passes this option to the compiler, this makes it print diagnostic messages indicating its progress.

Firewall Builder home page is located at the following URL: http://www.fwbuilder.org/
