I noticed that PAM of the Mandrake distro seems to be affected by an old
bug (dated Fri, 14 Jul 2000 06:05:58 -
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=67211) on the
pam_mkhomedir module. 

---------
Debian Bug report logs - #67211 

"Unlike adduser's behavior pam_mkhomedir doesn't seem to recurse
directories inside skel.  This minor inconvenience breaks things like
placing a qmail
Maildir into /etc/skel. "

---------

This problem seems to be corrected with
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/pam/pam_0.72-18.diff.gz ....  

I compiled pam-0.74-4mdk with pam_mkhomedir of the Debian distro
(0.72-18) ...and now all seems to work fine.
On the attachment you can find the patch.
