SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

15       The pam_oddjob_mkhomedir.so module checks if the user's home  directory
16       exists,  and  if it does not, it invokes the mkhomedirfor method of the
17       com.redhat.oddjob_mkhomedir service for the PAM_USER if the  module  is
18       running with superuser privileges.  Otherwise, it invokes the mkmyhome‐
19       dir method.
20
21       The location of the skeleton directory and the default umask are deter‐
22       mined  by the values of HOME_MODE or UMASK (as a fallback) variables in
23       /etc/login.defs, so they can not be specified as arguments to this mod‐
24       ule.
25
26       If  D-Bus  has  not been configured to allow the calling application to
27       invoke these methods provided as part of the  com.redhat.oddjob_mkhome‐
28       dir interface of the / object provided by the com.redhat.oddjob_mkhome‐
29       dir service, then oddjobd will not receive the  request  and  an  error
30       will be returned by D-Bus.
31
32       If  oddjobd  has  not  been configured to provide these methods, or the
33       user is not authorized to use them, then oddjobd will ignore  the  mod‐
34       ule's requests.

OPTIONS

38       The module takes no options.  What oddjobd does in response to the mod‐
39       ule's request is controlled by the daemon's configuration  file,  typi‐
40       cally /etc/oddjobd.conf.d/oddjobd-mkhomedir.conf.
