NAME¶
mkhomedir_helper - Helper binary that creates home directories
SYNOPSIS¶
mkhomedir_helper {user}
[umask [ path-to-skel ]]
DESCRIPTION¶
mkhomedir_helper is a helper program for the
pam_mkhomedir module
that creates home directories and populates them with contents of the
specified skel directory.
The default value of
umask is 0022 and the default value of
path-to-skel is
/etc/skel.
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
mkhomedir_helper.
The helper never touches home directories if they already exist.
