NAME

       mkhomedir_helper - Helper binary that creates home directories

SYNOPSIS

       mkhomedir_helper {user} [umask [ path-to-skel [ home_mode ] ]]

DESCRIPTION

       mkhomedir_helper is a helper program for the pam_mkhomedir module that creates home
       directories and populates them with contents of the specified skel directory.

       The default value of umask is 0022 and the default value of path-to-skel is /etc/skel. The
       default value of home_mode is computed from the value of umask.

       The helper is separated from the module to not require direct access from login SELinux
       domains to the contents of user home directories. The SELinux domain transition happens
       when the module is executing the mkhomedir_helper.

       The helper never touches home directories if they already exist.
