PAM_NAMESPACE_HELPER(8) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_NAMESPACE_HELPER(8) NAME pam_namespace_helper - Helper binary that creates home directories SYNOPSIS pam_namespace_helper DESCRIPTION pam_namespace_helper is a helper program for the pam_namespace module that sets up a private namespace for a session with polyinstantiated directo- ries. The helper ensures that the namespace mount points exist before they are started to be used for the polyinstantiated directories. Mount points for home directories (lines with $HOME) are not created. pam_namespace_helper should be run by systemd at system startup. It should also be run by the administrator after defining the polyinstantiated direc- tories but before enabling them. SEE ALSO pam_namespace(8) AUTHOR Written by Topi Miettinen.
