+.SH "NAME"

+\fBpam_mkhomedir.so\fR [silent] [umask=\fImode\fR] [skel=\fIskeldir\fR]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The pam_mkhomedir PAM module will create a users home directory if it does not exist when the session begins. This allows users to be present in central database (such as NIS, kerberos or LDAP) without using a distributed file system or pre\-creating a large number of directories. The skeleton directory (usually
+\fI/etc/skel/\fR) is used to copy default files and also set's a umask for the creation.
+.PP
+The new users home directory will not be removed after logout of the user.
