Hello,
On a Debian 13 machine, I created a new user, without creating the home
directory at the same time, as the intention is that at every login,
first pam_exec.so is used to completely remove the home directory and
then pam_mkhomedir.so to create it again.
After first login - there is absolutely no doubt that the home
directory did not exist before login - I discovered that the home
directory had been created somehow, though I did not even add
pam_mkhomedir to the PAM stack.
What is it that may have created the home directory?
Regards
Christoph
Hello,
(I am not at all familiar with this subject)
A possible candidate would be pam_oddjob_mkhomedir.so:
