New users without home directories w/LDAP...

Odd question...I've inherited a bunch of RH9 boxes, all of which use 
LDAP authentication.  When a new user ssh's into a machine, the 
authentication works properly, but of course they don't have a home 
directory.  Most of the machines complain about this, and end up dumping 
the user into /.  One machine in particular does the right thing and 
creates the home directory for the user, sets baseline .bashrc, .login, 
etc. files (presumably from /etc/skel), configures X, etc.  I'm trying 
to track down what process/script is actually doing the work here, so I 
can replicate the functionality on the other machines.  Ideas?  Thanks!
