oddjobd-mkhomedir.conf - allow limited use of the mkhomedir functions

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

The **/etc/oddjobd.conf.d/oddjobd-mkhomedir.conf** is typically processed along with other files in the **/etc/oddjobd.conf.d** directory.

The mkhomedir helper itself accepts these options:

[-q](#q)

Refrain from outputting the usual "Creating home directory..." message when it creates a home directory.

[-n](#n)

Only create the home directory; do not populate it using the contents of the skeleton directory.

[-s](#s)

Override the location of the skeleton directory (by default: */etc/skel*).

[-u](#u)

Specify a umask whose bits are masked off of contents of the skeleton directory while they are copied to the user's new home directory. The default is read from **/etc/login.defs** by taking **HOME\_MODE** and **UMASK** values, in this order. First found value persists.
