I want to enable some pam modules automatically in a script. mkhomedir is disabled as default. If you start pam-auth-update, there is no check mark in 

Create home directory on login

How can I change this?

There is a configuration file

/usr/share/pam-configs/my_mkhomedir

containing 

Name: activate mkhomedir
Default: no
Priority: 900
Session-Type: Additional
Session:
        required                        pam_mkhomedir.so umask=002 skel=/etc/skel

Changing the priority value changes the ordering in pam-auth-update, but Default: yes does not enable it as default. Is there any other option to enable this module as default?

Firstly I edited the mkhomedir config file changing Default: no to Default: yes

Then I ran this command:

pam-auth-update --enable mkhomedir

I checked the pam-auth-update ncurses gui afterwards and the box was now selected

  • Thanks, that is working! I didn't know that I have to use "--enable mkhomedir" although default is set to yes. – Alexander Mar 07 '19 at 14:27
