samba - Dec 2002 - Automatically Creating User Home Directories

Hi all,

A quick question here.  How can I get my RHL 7.2 box running Samba 2.2.3a
connecting to a Windows 2000 PDC via Winbind to automatically create home
directories for new users that get added to the Windows 2000 PDC?

Hopefully someone can help me with this question.

Thanks,
Kevin Bramblett

Kevin, 
        There is a way to do this via PAM on Linux.  If you add the
following line to /etc/pam.d/system-auth file: 

session     sufficient    /lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel
umask=007 

this will automatically create a skeleton home directory the first time
a user logs on to the system.
