Timo's recommendation appears to pass a test of patching SSD. The difference between patching it yourself and using pam-auth-update for me was that whitespace was significant.
I think the Server guide should reflect pam-auth-update rather than manually adding pam_mkhomedir.so. if your goal is to enable pam_mkhomedir on the system, you could run: pam-auth-update --package --enable mkhomedir and then it would stay enabled even after system upgrades -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821085 Title: Documentation: SSSD server guide recommends pam_mkhomedir.so, latest aptitude patch to sssd removes it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/serverguide/+bug/1821085/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
