lp_add_home() patch

[Gerald Carter]

Monyo,

I was looking at the patch from you I had in my mailbox (back from July I
think).  I don't think this should be included, but it will break
installations that use 'root preexec' scripts to create the home
directory as needed.  Do you agree?

I'm also not quite sure how it fits in with something like
pam_mkhomedir.so and the PAM session management phase. Althought I
think it is ok here.
