Script to create home dirs

When LDAP is enabled, any user in the tree can login (with some conditions), but the users home directory isn’t built on the fly. The way to fix this is remotely mounted home directories, but that’s not always practical. If there is no local home directory, and you don’t mount the directory remotely, the user will be put into the guest home directory at login. This script will scan the LDAP tree, check to see if the user is denied logins on this host, create the home directory, and copy the .profile from /etc/skel/.

hostname=`hostname`
for dir in `lsldap -a passwd |\
	grep homeDirectory |\
	grep -v "*" |\
	awk '{ print $2 }'`
do
        if [ -d $dir ]
        then
                echo $dir exists
        else
                user=`lsldap -a passwd homeDirectory=$dir |\
                	grep uidNumber |\
                	awk '{ print \$2 }'`
                group=`lsldap -a passwd homeDirectory=$dir |\
                	grep gidNumber |\
                	awk '{ print \$2 }'`
                denied_login=`lsldap -a passwd homeDirectory=$dir |\
                	grep hostsDeniedLogin |\
                	grep -c -i "hostsDeniedLogin: $hostname"`
                if [ $denied_login -eq 0 ]
                then
                	echo WARNING: $dir does not exist, creating
                	mkdir $dir
                	cp /etc/skel/.profile $dir/
                	chown -R $user:$group $dir
                fi
        fi
