CentOS - Jun 2010 - how to set up pam_oddjob_mkhomedir (samba and ldap)?

Hi,

I do have a samba server up and running and users are authenticated by ldap.

Login to the samba server works as long as the user has a home directory.

Now if I create a new ldap entry for an user I'd like to use
pam_oddjob_mkhomedir to create a home directory if it dose not exist on
login.

But something fails on my system.

I followed the redhat faq http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-3973
which may be wron according to that bugzilla entry.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=429524

So I added

session    optional     pam_oddjob_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022

to

/etc/pam.d/login

using all other default settings and configs using the rpms provided by
redhat EL 5.5 / Centos 5.5


rpm -qa|grep oddjob
oddjob-0.27-9.el5
oddjob-libs-0.27-9.el5

the services are restarted, there are no errors in the log except from
samba, that the login from the user fails because of the missing home
directory.

I'd appreciate any suggestion and best regards

	G?tz
