Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: centrifydc

## Issue

- CentrifyDC's copying of contents of the skel directory into a new home 
  directory stops when a broken link is encountered.

- Partial creation of home directories for new Active Directory users due 
  to broken symlinks

## Environment

- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

- centrifydc 4.4.2-310-0ubuntu1

- pam.homedir.create is set in /etc/centrifydc/c

- previously-unknown ADS user logs in

- broken links encountered under (e.g.) /etc/skel

## Resolution

- (workaround) repair broken links


## Diagnostic Steps

- create broken link under /etc/skel

ln -s /usr/local/0000_asdfasdfasdfsadf /etc/skel/

find /etc/skel -exec

- remove any existing home directory

rm -rf /home/aduser

- login as adsuser

- check /var/log/auth.log

WARN  <fd:# PAMCreateHomeDirectory> daemon.ipcclient Unable to create
home directory for user adstwo: cannot stat
/etc/skel/0000_asdfasdfasdfsadf:  No such file or directory
