[Bug 2040281] [NEW] mkhomedir and pam_mount incompatibility

[Virginie Trinite]

Public bug reported:

Hello
I have use realm to join a domain without difficulty and use
pam-auth-update --enable mkhomedir, as suggest by the documentation
The problem is, when a new user log into the system, the content of /etc/skel is not copy into the new home directory, even if Download Desktop.... are created.
Adduser work normally and the homedirectory is created fine.
The problem come from the additional pam module pam_mount, in my case this one try to mount a shared ressource in the homedir of the user.
By default in /etc/pam.d/common.session pam_mount is called before pam_mkhomedir.so.
If I deplace the pam_mkhomedir line before the pam_mount everything is working fine


Thanks for your attention
