CentOS - Aug 2007 - CentOS5 pam_mkhomedir

I have a problem creating homedirs on the fly. Since RHEL5 / CentOS5 you have to
use pam_oddjob_mkhomedir instead of pam_mkhomedir.
Everything is working (the homedir is created) but two things.
First on every logon I get the following error message, and I don't know how
to
fix it:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name com.redhat.oddjob was not 
provided by any .service files

Second: The permissions of the new created homedir is wrong. It should be 700 
but it is 755.

Can anybody tell me, how to fix these two problems?

Thanks

Peter

Peter,
I'm using pam_mkhomedir on redhat 5 and centos5 just as it worked in 
previous versions of redhat...why do you believe that pam_mkhomedir 
doesn't work?

I have no problem with pam_mkhomedir on my CentOS 5 installation:

session     optional      pam_keyinit.so revoke
session     required      pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0077 silent
session     required      pam_limits.so
session     [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet
use_uid
session     required      pam_unix.so
session     optional      pam_krb5.so

Works for me, the option for setting the home dir perms is umask
