auth_mkhomedir â Autocreate a new account's home directory
+#include <courierauth.h>
+
int rc=auth_mkhomedir( | struct authinfo *auth); |
+ A callback_func that's passed as a parameter
+ to
+ auth_getuserinfo(3)
+ can invoke this function to automatically create a new account's
+ home directory, if the authlib client is running as root, forwarding
+ the authinfo pointer from the callback.
+
+ auth_mkhomedir() checks if the
+ AUTH_MKHOMEDIR_SKEL environment variable is set, and
+ if the authenticated account's home directory does not exist.
+ If the environment variable is set it must point to a directory like
+ /etc/skel that contains a template for the
+ contents of a new account's home directory.
+
+ If AUTH_MKHOMEDIR_SKEL is not set, or if the home
+ directory exists,
+ auth_mkhomedir() does nothing and returns 0.
+ Otherwise the account's home directory gets created, and
+ the contents of the AUTH_MKHOMEDIR_SKEL
+ directory get recursively copied into the new home directory.
+ The permissions of AUTH_MKHOMEDIR_SKEL and its contents
+ are preserved, and the owner userid and groupid is set to the
+ authenticated account's userid and groupid.
