NAME

       oddjobd - privileged operations for unprivileged processes

SYNOPSIS

       oddjobd [-n] [-d] [-p pidfile] [-c configfile] [-S] [-t timeout]

DESCRIPTION

       The oddjobd daemon provides the com.redhat.oddjob service on the system-wide message bus.  Each facility which oddjobd provides is provided
       as a separate D-Bus method.

       Any method can be invoked by name by any user, subject to access controls enforced by both D-Bus and oddjobd.

       Most methods are implemented as helper programs.

OPTIONS

       -n     Do not fork and become a daemon process.

       -d     Print debugging messages to stderr.  Implies -n.

       -p pidfile
	      Store the daemon's process ID in the named file.

       -c /etc/oddjobd.conf
	      Read the daemon's configuration from the named file.

       -S     Connect to the session bus instead of the system bus.  Used for testing only.

       -t timeout
	      Specifies the amount of time which will pass between attempts to reconnect to the bus if oddjobd is disconnected for any reason.	If
	      the  specified timeout is above 5, then oddjobd will first attempt to connect up to 10 times at intervals of 5 seconds.  The default
	      reconnect timeout is 30 seconds.

SIGNALS

       SIGHUP Reload the configuration.  Client requests which are in the process of being served will run to completion even if the  newly-loaded
	      configuration does not include the service, object, interface, or method.

NAME

       pam_oddjob_mkhomedir.so - PAM module to create users home directory via oddjob

SYNOPSIS

       session optional /lib/security/pam_oddjob_mkhomedir.so

DESCRIPTION

       The  pam_oddjob_mkhomedir.so  module  checks if the user's home directory exists, and if it does not, it invokes the mkhomedirfor method of
       the com.redhat.oddjob_mkhomedir service for the PAM_USER if the module is running with superuser privileges.   Otherwise,  it  invokes  the
       mkmyhomedir method.

       The  location of the skeleton directory and the default umask are determined by the configuration for the corresponding service in oddjobd-
       mkhomedir.conf, so they can not be specified as arguments to this module.

       If D-Bus has not been configured to allow the calling application to invoke these methods provided as part of the com.redhat.oddjob_mkhome-
       dir  interface  of the / object provided by the com.redhat.oddjob_mkhomedir service, then oddjobd will not receive the request and an error
       will be returned by D-Bus.

       If oddjobd has not been configured to provide these methods, or the user is not authorized to use them, then oddjobd will ignore  the  mod-
       ule's requests.
