#242770 — oddjob-mkhomedir question

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Greetings everyone,

(apologies for the resend, but my initial attempt to post the below to the list well over half an hour ago from my other address (CCed) hasn't yet made it to the list, though i don't know why, so...)

i'm not subscribed to the list (but will check back via the web archives for responses that don't get CCed or BCCed to me).

Given that fact, do feel free to loop me in directly via (B)CC if you wish (though again, it's not necessary).

i've been using debian for ~25 years, and first of all, i have to express my debt of gratitude. It just keeps getting better and better.

Bullseye is truly awesome.

On this relatively new platform, i was able to quite trivially get pam-ldap functionality (for SSH logins) working. However, after installing the oddjob package(s), a user who does not yet have a home directory on the server is still not getting one autocreated upon SSHing in.

I've looked in log files, bumped sshd_config loglevel up to DEBUG, and restarted dbus, ssh and the oddjobd services.

Should any of you have any advice about where to look in order to troubleshoot (there seems to be no evidence that any attempt was even made to create a homedir upon the user logging in), i'd love to have you share it.

And/or if there's a different auto-create-homedir solution you might suggest, I'm also happy to try that (it does seem that oddjob is somewhat redhat specific?).

    thanks again for all that you all do -- what a great community,
                 ~c

#242772 — List mail delays, was: oddjob-mkhomedir question

Hi,

regrettably i cannot contribute anything to your actual question.

But the question of mail delays can be answered out of my mailbox:

Your message from
  Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2021 12:07:03 +0000
arrived after 23.5 minutes at my (and your) mail provider's server:

  Received: from bendel.debian.org ([82.195.75.100]) by mx-ha.gmx.net
    (mxgmx014

 <scdbackup@gmx.net>; Wed, 08 Dec 2021 13:30:24 +0100

The delay seems to be a cooperation of Debian's server ecosystem
and linode.com.

At Debian:

is more than 15 minutes after

Before that, the mail spent a while on linode.com :

    for <debian-user@lists.debian.org>; Wed,

is more than 7 minutes after

Have a nice day :)
