1. check if a given directory is present in /home of all users
2. create the directory if it is not present to act as a mount point

3. mount a separate directory that resided on a different partition at the mount point that has just been created for all users.
How to determine what that separate directory is ?
Is it's name the user's name ?
Why mounting ? Can't you just create a symbolic link pointing to the other dir ?

Hi
I want to know which profile will be called when a user without home directory is created.
When I created a user without home directory(by setting in /etc/default/useradd), the user is able to login directly into the main "/" folder but with only read permissions.
Thanks

dist::metadata::dir
Dist::Metadata::Dir(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Dist::Metadata::Dir(3pm)NAME
Dist::Metadata::Dir - Enable Dist::Metadata for a directory
VERSION
version 0.923
SYNOPSIS
my $dm = Dist::Metadata->new(dir => $path_to_dir);
DESCRIPTION
This is a subclass of Dist::Metadata::Dist to enable getting the dists metadata from a directory.
This can be useful if you already have a dist extracted into a directory.
It's probably not very useful on it's own though, and should be used from "new" in Dist::Metadata.
METHODS
new
$dist = Dist::Metadata::Struct->new(dir => $path);
Accepts a single 'dir' argument that should be a path to a directory.
determine_name_and_version
Attempts to parse name and version from directory name.
dir
Returns the "dir" attribute specified in the constructor.
file_content
Returns the content for the specified file.
find_files
Returns a list of the file names beneath the directory (relative to the directory).
physical_directory
Returns the "dir" attribute since this is already a directory containing the desired files.
