if it does not already exist. It also sets the users home to a default
mode of 0755, but can changed in the PAM config. Furthermore, it copies
dot files from the skel - per default /usr/share/skel, but this option
can be also overwritten in the PAM config
The following options may be passed to the session module
debug syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.>
mode=ABCD permission for the HOME directory - defaults to 0755
in chmod(2) format
skel=directory skel directory to use - defaults to /usr/share/skel
The reason for this module was to create users on a ldap directory and
create their home directories automatically when they logon the first
time on the machine
