If he had logged in via SSH, it would have worked with the line at the 
bottom, but it seems that isn't the way the OP was trying to connect, he 
was trying to connect via Samba and Samba doesn't use PAM. He needs to 
use 'root preexec' in smb.conf with a script to create the users 
directory if it doesn't exist.
