The problem with this is that you need to be running as root, or as a user or group which can create under /home, or have the sticky bit on /home. I see the source under RELENG_4 as: /src/contrib/libpam/modules/pam_mkhomedir I can't think of any major reasons why you couldn't just continue using this if it worked for you before. It would probably work from login. sshd might require you to enable UseLogin yes in sshd_config. BMS
