Hi group, I'm trying to use pam_mkhomedir.so, but I really don't understand how. I am using SuSE 9.0. It doesn't look like SuSE even looks at /etc/pam.d for its info at all. I added the following line to /etc/pam.d/login: session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022 debug I thought the 'debug' would give me some verbose error messages if it failed, but it doesn't. So I have a user that I have created, I first test that I can su to him without -: honk:/var/home # su test.user test.user@honk:/var/home> Then I su with - thinking the home directory will be created: honk:/var/home # su - test.user su: warning: cannot change directory to /home/test.user: No such file or directory Then I look in /var/log/messages to see if there are any errors: Dec 17 16:31:31 honk su: pam_unix2: session started for user test.user, service su Dec 17 16:31:33 honk su: pam_unix2: session finished for user test.user, service su Since I get no other messages I really don't think the login process is even looking at /etc/pam.d. Am I correct? How do I configure this in SuSE? I know that to use LDAP I had to edit a comp[etely different file in /etc/sysconfig or something. Is there another one to turn on automatic homedir creation? Misty
