home directory auto create problem
 

My distribution is Fedora Core 4, I am using winbind to authenticate users against a MS domain. If it makes any difference I am using Gnome.

Here is my problem: When I try to login with any username I get an error message

“Your home directory is listed as ‘/home/DOMAIN/username’ but it does not appear to exist. Do you want to login wit /root as your home directory? It is unlikely anything will work unless you use a failsafe terminal.”

I have added “session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=077” to the /etc/pam.d/login file but I still get the same message.

Any Ideas.

Check the logs. Always check the logs.

No really, do you see any messages either from pam_mkhomedir.so or at least from GDM in your system log files? They should give you some hints about what's going on.

The logs really didn't give me anymore detail than I already knew. Through google I found http://mcpmag.com/columns/article.asp?editorialsid=976 And the only diference I found was adding "session requied pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0077" to the /etc/pam.d/gdm file.
