Hi again -- yet another problem. I have users -- authenticated via LDAP -- coming from various "pots". I would like to create their home directories on the fly. However, there are two problems - as follows. The directory structure of home differs greatly for the different "pots". Say, one user might have "/home/foo" and the other "/dfs/blah/boo/bar/foobar". pam_mkhomedir, as far as I understand it, does not create the whole directory structure, but only the actual user home directory (foo or foobar) and fails if, for example, "/dfs/blah/boo/bar/" does not exist, but only "/dfs/blah/boo/". But "bar" can be sometimes user- or group- specific and subject to change. Second problem: when you log in with ssh, pam_mkdirhome is run as user, and if the user cannot create the home directory (which she or he normally can't) no home directory will be created. Ultimately, I would like to have the following happening at log in: 1) check whether home exist 2) if not, create it and assign the apropriate user rights 3) check where the user information came from; if it came from the LDAP server, run pam_mount to mount the users shared volume through SMB The only idea I have now is to replace the mount command in pam_mount with my own script. j. -- ------------ January Weiner 3 ---------------------+--------------- Division of Bioinformatics, University of Muenster | Schloßplatz 4 (+49)(251)8321634 | D48149 Münster http://www.uni-muenster.de/Biologie.Botanik/ebb/ | Germany _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
