pam module that creates new users
intro
pam_useradd creates accounts if they do not yet exist on the system.
Useful for e.g. shared computers where the users of the system are not known before. A shared account which no or well known password sucks as everyone messes with the settings and files of others. So pam_useradd just dynamically creates new user accounts.
usage
add the following line to e.g. /etc/pam.d/gdm (before other auth lines):
auth optional pam_useradd.so
... UTSL
security
your default system policies should be set up in a way that new users don't gain privileges that can be used to damage the system obviously.
do not use the module with 'su'. It's not safe to be used in setuid context.
