The reason why $HOME doesn't exist it's due to the fact that no local users are available, only the MS ADS server hosts the list of "domain users". Therefore when a user is being authenticated and has no $HOME nor $HOME/Maildir the calling of pam_mkhomedir.so should generate the above from /etc/skel/ as per pam session. -- How much net work could a network work, if a network could net work? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
