Bug ID: 61899
Summary: Automatic home directory creation is apparently broken
Product: Wikimedia Labs
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW

Nikerabbit had the problem yesterday that his home directory wasn't created on
his initial login. This problem reoccured just now with bjelleklang:
| scfc@tools-login:~$ sudo ls -alR /home/bjelleklang
| /home/bjelleklang:
| insgesamt 16
| drwx------ 2 root root 20 Feb 25 08:58 .
| drwxr-xr-x 420 root root 12288 Feb 25 08:58 ..
| -rw------- 1 root root 0 Feb 25 08:58 .bashrc
| scfc@tools-login:~$
With Nikerabbit, removing the directory and asking the user to log in again
fixed this. With bjelleklang it didn't work:
| scfc@tools-login:~$ sudo rm -Rf /home/bjelleklang
| scfc@tools-login:~$ sudo ls -alR /home/bjelleklang
| ls: Zugriff auf /home/bjelleklang nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht
gefunden
| [wait for the user to log in]
| scfc@tools-login:~$ sudo ls -alR /home/bjelleklang
| /home/bjelleklang:
| insgesamt 16
| drwx------ 2 root root 28 Feb 25 10:06 .
| drwxr-xr-x 420 root root 12288 Feb 25 10:06 ..
| -rw------- 1 root root 0 Feb 25 10:06 .bashrc
| scfc@tools-login:~$
I fixed this for bjelleklang with "cp -R /etc/skel ~bjelleklang && chown -R
bjelleklang.wikidev ~bjelleklang".
What's odd is that a) the directory does get created and b) one file (.bashrc)
gets created.
