Hello All,

This query belongs to pam_mkdir module and user home directory creation in HP-UX 11.11 PA RISC machine.

Steps did :

1) Compiled pam_mkdir.c pgm and libpam_mkdir.1 is created.

2) I'd like to make the pam_mkdir module do more than just create a homedir from /etc/skel and set the umask.

        So added this line ,    login session required /user/lib/security/libpam_mkdir.1 skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022   in /etc/pam.conf 

3) And debug is suffixed like, login    session required       /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1 debug  in /etc/pam.conf

4) My requirement is, when a newuser is created and logged in , automatically it will create /home/newuser directory should be created.

But I can create the newuser thru useradd command, but can't logged into the machine thru tthat newuser account.

/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log entry at the time of login :
