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_mkhomedir   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 module's requests.

OPTIONS

       The module takes no options.  What oddjobd does in response to the module's request is controlled by  the
       daemon's configuration file, typically /etc/oddjobd.conf.d/oddjobd-mkhomedir.conf.
