I've been able to get my Suse to authenticate to eDir, but am having a home
directory create problem.
Is anyone else doing this? I was able to create and give the proper rights
to the directory, but cannot get it to create
automatically. I've added to the login in /etc/pam.d
Maybe something else did not get updated correctly?

Thank you for your aid!

You'll need to trigger a file system action (mkdir) with the edir user
creation, look for a module for SuSe for do this.

Maybe the people of www.FileSystemFactory.com could help you, they've
developed this for NetWare.

How is it that you're trying to configure the automatic creation of the
home directory, and what tool are you using to create the users?

To create the home dir, I am editing;
/etc/pam.d/login
/etc/pam.d/xdm

Per TID # 10081706
I do see it references TID#10067700, I have not completed anything in that
TID.

When logging in, you get the 'no home directory' error then it logs you off.

What do you have in these two files?

(truncating files, of course- let me know if you need to see more?)

/etc/pam.d/login (added top line ONLY)
session required /lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022
session required pam_unix2.so none # debug or trace
session required pam_limits.so

/etc/pam.d/xdm (added TOP LINE ONLY)
session required /lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0022
session required pam_unix2.so debug # trace or none
session required pam_devperm.so
session required pam_resmgr.so

Thank you,

Sorry it's taken me a while to come back on this, it's been a little bit
of research...

One thing that I wonder about - the TID specifies to use the full path
(/lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so), but none of the other files in the PAM
configuration files use the full path - does it make a difference if you
strip the path out?
