integration with pam-auth-update would be great, but privilege
separation in sshd turned on by default in ubuntu would cause this to
fail. I'm open to suggestions - I'm about to turn privilege separation
off because I can't find a better, simple home directory creation
solution, and I'd rather try to keep sshd up to date and on a non-
standard port than create a separate user with root privileges for ldap-
account-manager, or any of the other solutions Ive found to auto-create
home directories when adding users to an ldap-auth'd system.

Title:
Please consider adding a pam profile for pam_mkhomedir
Status in “pam” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: libpam-runtime
pam_mkhomedir is often used on conjunction with libnss-ldap and other
scheme that uses network directory for user. To make use of
pam_mkhomedir, you would usually have to edit /etc/pam.d/common-
session. Integration with pam-auth-update would be much better.
Attached is a pam-config profile for pam_mkdir. It default to not
enabling pam_mkhomedir, as it is not required in the common case.
Please consider adding it to libpam-runtime.
