+
+    <para>
+      <emphasis>mkhomedir_helper</emphasis> is a helper program for the
+      <emphasis>pam_mkhomedir</emphasis> module that creates home directories
+      and populates them with contents of the specified skel directory.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      The default value of <replaceable>umask</replaceable> is 0022 and the
+      default value of <replaceable>path-to-skel</replaceable> is
+      <emphasis>/etc/skel</emphasis>.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      The helper is separated from the module to not require direct access from
+      login SELinux domains to the contents of user home directories. The
+      SELinux domain transition happens when the module is executing the
+      <emphasis>mkhomedir_helper</emphasis>.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      The helper never touches home directories if they already exist.
