Hello Samba Users,

I recently found out about pam_mkhomedir.so, and now use it on a couple
of servers.  It works great, 

except that it is constantly creating directories for the machines that
connect also.

is my problem in my pam config, or my samba config?

What can I do to keep this from happening?

 

 

here is my config

 

[global]

workgroup = audit

netbios name = Storage1

server string = Storage1

security = ADS

encrypt passwords = yes

realm = AUDIT.LOCAL

obey pam restrictions = yes

idmap uid = 15000-20000

idmap gid = 15000-20000

winbind separator = +

winbind use default domain = yes

use sendfile = yes

log level = 1 passdb:5 auth:1 winbind:1

template homedir = /data/%D/%U

#template shell = /bin/bash

time server = yes

[homes]

comment = Home Directories

#valid users = %S

read only = no

browseable = no

vfs objects = recycle:keeptree

 

 

 

 

[root at localhost pam.d]# cat system-auth

#%PAM-1.0

# This file is auto-generated.

# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.

session     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_limits.so

session     required      /lib/security/$ISA/pam_unix.so
