pam_oddjob_mkhomedir(8)				       pam_oddjob_mkhomedir(8)

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 mkmyhome‐
       dir method.

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

       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_mkhome‐
       dir 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.
