[Samba] Samba/LDAP and home dir creation

[Diego Lima]

Hi Dimitri,

You probably want to enable the PAM module responsible for this. Back
up and edit your /etc/pam.d/system-auth and add the following line:

session required pam_oddjob_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022

Note: Messing with your pam config may lock you out of the system, so
be careful.
