Currently obol simply does mkdir($HOME), and nothing more. Tools like adduser create the home dir by copying the skeleton directory, typically /etc/skel. This pull request makes obol do the same.

For discussion: should obol really only LDAP stuff, or should it also do complicated things with the file system, like this pull request introduces?

Hi Guus,

many thanks for your suggestion. Though obol was meant to just do ldap things, i will bring this up with the team for their input/opinion.

something i didn't know is that when a home directory exists, the skel is not copied, even when it's not present.
It may just seem that your suggestion has legs!
