  21. <para>
  22. <emphasis>pam_namespace_helper</emphasis> is a helper program
  23. for the <emphasis>pam_namespace</emphasis> module that sets up a
  24. private namespace for a session with polyinstantiated
  25. directories. The helper ensures that the namespace mount points
  26. exist before they are started to be used for the
  27. polyinstantiated directories. Mount points for home directories
  28. (lines with $HOME) are not created.

  30. <para>
  31. <emphasis>pam_namespace_helper</emphasis> should be run by
  32. systemd at system startup. It should also be run by the
  33. administrator after defining the polyinstantiated directories
  34. but before enabling them.
