说明
mkhomedir_helper is a helper program for the pam_mkhomedir PAM module. It creates home directories and populates them with the contents of the specified skeleton directory. The tool copies files from the skeleton directory (typically /etc/skel) to the new home directory, applying the specified umask to file permissions. It sets ownership to the target user and creates standard configuration files like .bashrc and .profile. The helper is architecturally separated from the PAM module for security reasons, allowing SELinux domain transitions during execution and preventing direct access from login domains to home directory contents.
