Years ago in 2009 with users in LDAP (with pam_ldap) i use
pam_mkhomedir on debian and some russian rpm-based distro.
pam_mkhomedir will be work now as in 2009.

I think, most RH-only services must be used only if most of your
servers are RH-based and you vendor-locked on RH.
If datacenter not RH-based, then i prefer more universal solutions,
which work on RH too.

I think, you shoud look to /etc/pam.d
Not all configs work as expected, when need some strange (e.g. not
localhost desktop or alone server)
