Perhaps it's pam_mkhomedir? From /usr/share/doc/pam-*/html/pam.html:
6.15 Create home directories on initial login
Synopsis
Module Name:
pam_mkhomedir
Author:
Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@(protected)>
Maintainer:
Ben Collins <bcollins@(protected)>
Overview of module
Creates home directories on the fly for authenticated users.
Session component
Recognized arguments:
debug; skel=skeleton-dir; umask=octal-umask;
Description:
This module is useful for distributed systems where the
user account is managed in a central database (such as NIS,
NIS+, or LDAP) and accessed through miltiple systems. It
frees the administrator from having to create a default
home directory on each of the systems by creating it upon
the first succesfully authenticated login of that user. The
skeleton directory (usually /etc/skel/) is used to copy
default files and also set's a umask for the creation.
The behavior of this module can be modified with one of the
following flags:
* skel - The skeleton directory for default files to
copy to the new home directory.
* umask - An octal for of the same format as you would
pass to the shells umask command.
Examples/suggested usage:
session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0022
