Samba - ADS- Automatically Create home directories

[robertomason]

At work, using SambaKerberos and ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto, I joined my machine to our ADS network. Again using ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto, I modified both common-account and common-auth with these settings.

file: /etc/pam.d/common-account
account sufficient pam_winbind.so
account required pam_unix.so

file: /etc/pam.d/common-auth
auth sufficient pam_winbind.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok_secure use_first_pass
auth required pam_deny.so

According the the doc, when I first log in as a domain user, it should create the home directiroy /home/<whateverdomain>/<theusername>, but it doesn't. Am I doing something wrong, did I miss something.

Thank You
Roberto

Did you modify /etc/pam.d/common-session, as the guide I believe you were referring to instructed you to do?

session required pam_unix.so
session required pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0022 skel=/etc/skel

Thanks, that was it. I guess I went through the doc a little to quickly
