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.
