NAME

6       pam_namespace_helper - Helper binary that creates home directories
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pam_namespace_helper
10

DESCRIPTION

12       pam_namespace_helper is a helper program for the pam_namespace module
13       that sets up a private namespace for a session with polyinstantiated
14       directories. The helper ensures that the namespace mount points exist
15       before they are started to be used for the polyinstantiated
16       directories. Mount points for home directories (lines with $HOME) are
17       not created.
18
19       pam_namespace_helper should be run by systemd at system startup. It
20       should also be run by the administrator after defining the
21       polyinstantiated directories but before enabling them.
