NAME
     pam_mkhomedir - PAM module to create user home directories on demand

SYNOPSIS
     [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_mkhomedir [options]

DESCRIPTION
     The  MKHOMEDIR  session module creates users home directories on demand, if
     it does not already exist. It also sets the users home to a default mode of
     0755, but can changed in the PAM config. Furthermore, it copies  dot  files
     from  the	skel  - per default /usr/share/skel, but this option can be also
     overwritten in the PAM config

     The following options may be passed to the session module

      debug	      syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.>

      mode=ABCD       permission for the HOME directory - defaults to 0755
		      in chmod(2) format

      skel=directory  skel directory to use - defaults to /usr/share/skel

     The reason for this module was to create users on a ldap directory and cre-
     ate their home directories automatically when they logon the first time  on
     the machine
