<tag><bf>Recognized arguments:</bf></tag>
<tt/skel=skeleton-dir/; <tt/umask=octal-umask/;
<tag><bf>Description:</bf></tag>
This module is useful for distributed systems where the user account is
managed in a central database (such as NIS, NIS+, or LDAP) and accessed
through miltiple systems. It frees the administrator from having to create
a default home directory on each of the systems by creating it upon the
first succesfully authenticated login of that user. The skeleton directory
(usually /etc/skel/) is used to copy default files and also set's a umask
for the creation.
<p>
The behavior of this module can be modified with one of the following
flags:
<p>
<itemize>
<item><tt/skel/
- The skeleton directory for default files to copy to the new home directory.
<item><tt/umask/
- An octal for of the same format as you would pass to the shells umask command.
</itemize>
<tag><bf>Examples/suggested usage:</bf></tag>
session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022
