autocreation of local home directory when new ldap user is created

I'm investigating the use of ldap for centralizing unix user account management. From what I have read, it looks like if you want the user accounts to use local home directories, you would manually need to create these directories on each machine after you have created the new user object in the ldap directory (otherwise you will not be able to login) which kinda kills the whole centralize management idea.

I did find a article with one solution, using the pam_mkhomedir module, however, I cannot find any reference to this in any Solaris documentation.

Does anyone know if pam_mkhomedir is provided in any Solaris release? Alternatively, is there another way to solve this problem?
