Perhaps it's pam_mkhomedir? From /usr/share/doc/pam-*/html/pam.html:
6.15 Create home directories on initial login
Synopsis
Module Name: pam_mkhomedir Author: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@xxxxxxxxxxx> Maintainer: Ben Collins <bcollins@xxxxxxxxxx> Overview of module Creates home directories on the fly for authenticated users. Session component Recognized arguments: debug; skel=skeleton-dir; umask=octal-umask; Description: This module is useful for distributed systems where the user account is managed in a central database (such as NIS, NIS+, or LDAP) and accessed through miltiple systems. It frees the administrator from having to create a default home directory on each of the systems by creating it upon the first succesfully authenticated login of that user. The skeleton directory (usually /etc/skel/) is used to copy default files and also set's a umask for the creation. The behavior of this module can be modified with one of the following flags: * skel - The skeleton directory for default files to copy to the new home directory. * umask - An octal for of the same format as you would pass to the shells umask command. Examples/suggested usage: session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022

Thank you, that was it exactly! I got buggered a bit because sshd wasn't authenticating properly, but that wasn't a PAM issue. Had to turn off UsePrivilegeSeparation in sshd_config, then things worked as expected. Also added pam_mkhomedir to gdm, and now I think all the bases are covered. Thanks again...
