PAM_MKHOMEDIR(8)						 Linux-PAM Manual						  PAM_MKHOMEDIR(8)

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 /etc/skel/) 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 skel directory to override the default /etc/skel.

MODULE TYPES PROVIDED

       Only the session module type is provided.

RETURN VALUES

       PAM_BUF_ERR
	   Memory buffer error.

       PAM_CRED_INSUFFICIENT
	   Insufficient credentials to access authentication data.

       PAM_PERM_DENIED
	   Not enough permissions to create the new directory or read the skel directory.

       PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
	   User not known to the underlying authentication module.

       PAM_SUCCESS
	   Environment variables were set.

FILES

       /etc/skel
	   Default skel directory

EXAMPLES

       A sample /etc/pam.d/login file:

	     auth	requisite   pam_securetty.so
	     auth	sufficient  pam_ldap.so
	     auth	required    pam_unix.so
	     auth	required    pam_nologin.so
	     account	sufficient  pam_ldap.so
	     account	required    pam_unix.so
	     password	required    pam_unix.so
	     session	required    pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022
	     session	required    pam_unix.so
	     session	optional    pam_lastlog.so
	     session	optional    pam_mail.so standard
