Re: [zfs-discuss] useradd(1M) and ZFS dataset homedirs
In the meantime, you can use autofs to do something close to this if you like (sort of like the pam_mkhomedir module) -- you can have it execute a script that returns the appropriate auto_user entry (given a username as input). I wrote one a long time ago that would do a zfs create if the dataset didn't already exist (and assuming the homedir for the user was /home/ from getent).

Since individual ZFS file systems often make it easy to manage things, would it be possible to modify useradd(1M) so that if the 'base_dir' is in a zpool, a new dataset is created for the user's homedir? So if you specify "-m", a regular directory is created, but if you specify (say) "-z", a new dataset is created. Usermod(1M) would also probably have this option.

[zfs-discuss] useradd(1M) and ZFS dataset homedirs
I have a suggestion on modifying useradd(1M) and am not sure where to input it. Since individual ZFS file systems often make it easy to manage things, would it be possible to modify useradd(1M) so that if the 'base_dir' is in a zpool, a new dataset is created for the user's homedir? So if you specify "-m", a regular directory is created, but if you specify (say) "-z", a new dataset is created. Usermod(1M) would also probably have this option. GNU / Linux already as a "-Z" (capital-zed) option AFAICT: -Z, --selinux-user SEUSER The SELinux user for the user´s login. The default is to leave this field blank, which causes the system to select the default SELinux user. ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
