Unable to create home directory (LDAP Authentication)

["vijay s sheelavantar" <s_vijay65@rediffmail.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to create the home directories for the users automatically(using pam_mkhomedir.so) when they login using SSH.

I have added the below line to /etc/pam.d/system-auth file.

PHP Code:

session     optional        pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0022  


user authentication is done by a LDAP server, and the machine is running Fedora OS.

I am getting the below errors.

PHP Code:

Creating directory '/home/vijay'.
Unable to create directory /home/vijay: Permission denied
Last login: Wed Oct  5 16:03:53 2011 from 10.254.194.148
Could not chdir to home directory /home/vijay: No such file or directory  


Kindly help me to solve this problem.

Warm Regards,
Vijay S.
