[Bug 2040281] Re: mkhomedir and pam_mount incompatibility

[Mitchell Dzurick]

Hi Virginie, I tried to reproduce this in an LXD vm

$ lxc launch ubuntu:jammy j --vm
$ lxc shell j
# apt install -y sssd-ad sssd-tools realmd adcli
# pam-auth-update --enable mkhomedir
# sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main universe restricted multiverse"
# apt install -y lib_pam_mount

Now add
<volume fstype="cifs" server="fileserver" path="path_to_shared" mountpoint="/home/%(DOMAIN_USER)/Shared" user="*" options="username=%(USER),user=%(USER),domain=domaine.local,iocharset=utf8" />

Under <!-- Volume definitions --> in /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml

# adduser mitch
# su mitch
$ ls ~/
shared


I see the shared folder in my test, is your issue that you don't see the shared folder?

  mkhomedir and pam_mount incompatibility

Bug description:
  Hello
  I have use realm to join a domain without difficulty and use
  pam-auth-update --enable mkhomedir, as suggest by the documentation
  The problem is, when a new user log into the system, the content of /etc/skel is not copy into the new home directory, even if Download Desktop.... are created.
  Adduser work normally and the homedirectory is created fine.
  The problem come from the additional pam module pam_mount, in my case this one try to mount a shared ressource in the homedir of the user.
  By default in /etc/pam.d/common.session pam_mount is called before pam_mkhomedir.so.
  If I deplace the pam_mkhomedir line before the pam_mount everything is working fine

  
  Thanks for your attention
