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.
