The pam_mkhomedir PAM module will create a users home directory if it does not exist when the session begins\.

The skeleton directory (usually
\fI/etc/skel/\fR) is used to copy default files and also set\'s a umask for the creation\.

The new users home directory will not be removed after logout of the user\.
