<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This query belongs to pam_mkdir module
and user home directory creation in HP-UX 11.11 PA RISC machine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><U>Steps did :</U></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Compiled pam_mkdir.c pgm and libpam_mkdir.1 is
created.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) I'd like to make the pam_mkdir module do more
than just create a homedir from /etc/skel and set the umask.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> So added this
line , </FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#808000 size=2>login
session required /user/lib/security/libpam_mkdir.1 skel=/etc/skel/
umask=0022 <FONT color=#000000>in /etc/pam.conf
</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) And debug is suffixed like, <FONT
color=#808000>login session
required /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1
debug </FONT><FONT color=#000000>in /etc/pam.conf</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4) My requirement is, when a newuser is created and
logged in , automatically it will create /home/newuser directory should be
created.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But I can create the newuser thru useradd command,
but can't logged into the machine thru tthat newuser account.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><U>/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log entry at the time of
login</U> :</FONT></DIV>
