samba - Oct 2008 - Create user home directory or user-own folder on samba server on first login to samba

Hello,
  I'd like to create user home directory or user-own folder on samba server
on first login to samba without using PAM, so how could I do this?

Thank you,
Denis

I use this along with a "root preexec" (and "preexec close")
setting on
the homes share.

/*
 *  Program Name: smbmkhome
 *  Version: 1.0
 *  Author: Michael Heydon
 *  Purpose: This program is designed to be run by samba prior to a user
 *           accessing their home directory. Since the users are set up in LDAP
 *           it is possible (probable) that their home directory was not created
 *           when their account was. This program will create the user's
home
 *           directory and fix ownership and permissions if necessary.
 * 
 *           The program should be called with 1 parameter
 * 
 *           smbmkhome <username>
 * 
 *           <username> is the user to create/fix the home directory for.
 * 
 *           smbmkhome will return: 0 - success
 *                                  1 - incorrect parameters
 *                                  2 - invalid user
 *                                  3 - home exists but is not a directory
 *                                  4 - mkdir/chown failed
 * 
 *  Notes: compile with "gcc -o smbmkhome smbmkhome.c"
 *         tested under slackware linux 10.2
 *         requires cpio to copy skel when creating a directory
