I know that pam_mkhomedir is not distributed for Solaris, so I have downloaded the Linux-PAM package to a Solaris 7 machine and successfully compiled the pam_mkhomedir module. Everything compiled and linked properly, so I moved pam_mkhomedir.so to the system /lib/security directory with all of the other modules, set the owner to root, and chmod 555'ed it. I then added it as the first item (and made it required) in the session section of /etc/pam.conf. Then I tried to su to a user which exists only in our LDAP server (authentication works like a charm on Linux boxes, and the user's home directory is then created). Instead of becoming that user, I simply received the message "No directory!" and was dumped back to my previous user session. The home directory was not created. If I create the directory manually, then it works like a charm. The user is accepted, and I'm placed in their proper home directory. 'getent passwd' returns the full passwd information, including all of the LDAP users. Any suggestions why pam_mkhomedir would fail to work in this scenario? I'm at my wits end, and this is past due. :-p Thanks in advance chris
