I have a problem creating homedirs on the fly. Since RHEL5 / CentOS5 you have to use pam_oddjob_mkhomedir instead of pam_mkhomedir. Everything is working (the homedir is created) but two things. First on every logon I get the following error message, and I don't know how to fix it: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name com.redhat.oddjob was not provided by any .service files
Second: The permissions of the new created homedir is wrong. It should be 700 but it is 755.
Can anybody tell me, how to fix these two problems?
Thanks
Peter
I have no problem with pam_mkhomedir on my CentOS 5 installation:
session optional pam_keyinit.so revoke session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=0077 silent session required pam_limits.so session [success=1 default=ignore] pam_succeed_if.so service in crond quiet use_uid session required pam_unix.so session optional pam_krb5.so
Works for me, the option for setting the home dir perms is umask=

Thank you. Actually there no problem using pam_mkhomedir. RedHat says something different (http://www.redhat.com/magazine/024oct06/features/tips_tricks/) but it still works. Maybe selinux was the problem in my first test. Thank you Peter
