NAME

       pam_namespace_helper - Helper binary that creates home directories

SYNOPSIS

       pam_namespace_helper

DESCRIPTION

       pam_namespace_helper is a helper program for the pam_namespace module that sets up a
       private namespace for a session with polyinstantiated directories. The helper ensures that
       the namespace mount points exist before they are started to be used for the
       polyinstantiated directories. Mount points for home directories (lines with $HOME) are not
       created.

       pam_namespace_helper should be run by systemd at system startup. It should also be run by
       the administrator after defining the polyinstantiated directories but before enabling
       them.
