libpam-mklocaluser
===================
PAM configuration to enable locally unknown users to log in, presumably using
some network directory information like NIS or LDAP. When they log
in and the user name is locally unknown, a new local user with the UID and
GID information from the networked directory is created, and their password
is cached on the local disk to allow them to log in also when disconnected
from the network.
For sites using a path to home directories on the form
/site/hostname/partition/username/, it would be confusing if the local
home directory with that path showed up on the local machine and not on
the expected server. To avoid this problem, the local user is created
with /home/username/ as the home directory, allowing the remote file system
to be automounted on /site/hostname/partition/.
This package depends on pam_python from
