You can tweak the pam configuration for login to use the pam_mkhomedir.so module, which will create home directory automatically when the users login to client machines. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ajeet S Raina" <ajeetraina at gmail.com> To: 389-users at lists.fedoraproject.org Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 9:46:08 PM GMT +05:30 Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi Subject: Re: Doubt regarding 389 Client Home Directory?

I can also run this command on client Machine as follows successfully: ldapsearch -h 389-ds.sap.com -b "dc=im,dc=sap,dc=com" -L "objectclass=*" And it does show me all the user statistics like this: # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <dc=isst,dc=sapient,dc=com> with scope subtree # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: ALL # # isst.sapient.com dn: dc=im,dc=sap,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: domain dc: isst # Directory Administrators, isst.sapient.com dn: cn=Directory Administrators, dc=isst,dc=sapient,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: groupofuniquenames cn: Directory Administrators uniqueMember: cn=Directory Manager # Groups, im.sap.com dn: ou=Groups, dc=im,dc=sap,dc=com ... ... It means 389 Client is configured. Now I added a User called meet on 389 DS Server. I have provided: Default Shell: /bin/bash User ID: 610 GroupID:610 User name: snal Now When I try logging into the server through : username: meet password:**** It says: login as: snalamwar snal at 10.209.37.77's password: Last login: Wed Jan 13 03:00:09 2010 from 10.209.37.146 Could not chdir to home directory /home/snal: No such file or directory -bash-3.2$ Then I manually created a directory under /home as snal: mkdir /home/snal And Tried logging and this time it does login. Is this process correct? Do we need to create home directory manually.
