Best practices for autocreating user home directories when using automount

[Ronald Wimmer]

I am using IPA and the automount feature for user home directories. 
Where I did not find a suitable solution yet is what to do when a user 
logs in for the first time. Due to the fact that /home gets mounted on 
demand none of the pam modules (like pam_oddjob_mkhomedir) seem to work.

Is there a solution for this scenario?

Regards,
Ronald

This was discussed on the list just few weeks
ago, see thread "Auto
create NFS home folders on IPA Server" for details.
