Automatic home directory creation not working with ixPAMmkdir

I have installed the ixPAMmkdir package from HP-UX Internet Express site, onto an Integrity 11.23 machine, and added the line to /etc/pam.conf shown in the README.hp file. But our NIS users, while they can still login, aren't getting their directory created; they land in root (/) just as before. I've tried both the 32 and 64 bit libraries.

Has anyone got this working?

Solved. The problem was that the entry that the readme had me add in /etc/pam.conf, which starts with service name "login", is no help for logins over ssh. I simply duplicated that line, changing "login" to "sshd", and it works great.
