[Fedora-directory-users] Is it possible to use events to create homedirs when user entry is created or deleted? (resend)
Resending this message: Hello I have small environment with one FDS server and one application server, both RHEL4ES. FDS server provides ldap authentication and home directories for app server with ldap and nfs. I administrate users and groups with phpldapadmin or windows based ldapadmin, everything is working fine. When I add new user to the FDS, I have to create home directory for that user manually, set permissions and copy /etc/skel files. I would like to do home directory administration tasks automatically when user is added or deleted from FDS. One solution (I don''t like this) is that I use some command line ldap capable adduser instead of ldapadmin or phpldapadmin. Does FDS have any event support that I could use or are there any existing solutions for this problem? Best Regards Kimmo Koivisto
