I am hoping to findout if theres a way to have a new users 'home directory' automatically created perhaps at first logon for that User.
Are the users already created by an admin? Why can't he already create their home directory. Or do you want to have someone to try to log in and by this being an account and so with a home directory created (it sounds a little bit like that)? Last thing is not possible by normal means afaik. You need an account 1st before you can ever log in.
As ilikecows said, you need to be more specific.
