#5 Re: Giving users a home directory automatically Posted by sphaero (83.160.xx.xx) on Thu 8 Jun 2006 at 21:28 This is very handy but if your users are also able to access through Samba no home directory will be created, since it does not authenticate through PAM. The only way around this I found was through using the 'root preexec' directive in smb.conf for the home share. Like this: root preexec = /usr/sbin/smb-mkhomedir.sh %U #!/bin/bash #smb-mkhomedir.sh DHOME="/home" USERS_GID="1000" SKEL="/etc/skel" # Reads config file (will override defaults above) [ -r /etc/adduser.conf ] && . /etc/adduser.conf if [ -z $1 ]; then echo "Usage: $0 username" 1>&2 exit 1 fi if [ ! -e $DHOME/$1 ]; then mkdir -m $DIR_MODE -p $DHOME/$1 cp -R $SKEL/* $DHOME/$1 chown -R $1:$USERS_GID $DHOME/$1 fi exit 0
root preexec = /usr/sbin/smb-mkhomedir.sh %U
#!/bin/bash #smb-mkhomedir.sh DHOME="/home" USERS_GID="1000" SKEL="/etc/skel" # Reads config file (will override defaults above) [ -r /etc/adduser.conf ] && . /etc/adduser.conf if [ -z $1 ]; then echo "Usage: $0 username" 1>&2 exit 1 fi if [ ! -e $DHOME/$1 ]; then mkdir -m $DIR_MODE -p $DHOME/$1 cp -R $SKEL/* $DHOME/$1 chown -R $1:$USERS_GID $DHOME/$1 fi exit 0
