PAM_NAMESPACE_HELPER(8)        Linux-PAM Manual        PAM_NAMESPACE_HELPER(8)

NAME
       pam_namespace_helper - Helper binary that creates home directories

SYNOPSIS
       pam_namespace_helper

DESCRIPTION
       pam_namespace_helper is a helper program for the pam_namespace module
       that sets up a private namespace for a session with polyinstantiated
       directories. The helper ensures that the namespace mount points exist
       before they are started to be used for the polyinstantiated
       directories. Mount points for home directories (lines with $HOME) are
       not created.

       pam_namespace_helper should be run by systemd at system startup. It
       should also be run by the administrator after defining the
       polyinstantiated directories but before enabling them.
