That explains, Yes, lwat expects that the parent directory of the user
homedir exists, and is writable by root.

Not quite. It checks if the there are users created the last 15 minutes,
and if there is, checks if their homedirectories are created.

I guess that was because it was less than 15 minutes ago the homedir was
created...

Yes, there could be a check if there are directories that doesn't belong
to anyone. But I dont want tp write such a script.
it's something like
#!/bin/sh
HOMEPARENTS="/skole/tjener/home0
/skole/tjener/teachers
/skole/tjener/somefile"
for HOMEPARENT in $HOMEPARENTS ; do
find $HOMEPARENT -maxdepth 1 -type d -nouser -exec rm -rf {} \;
done
Put that one as /etc/cron.hourly/deletehomes
and the homedirs without an owner will be deleted every hour...

Not new knowledge to me, but maybe to others. I'll have a look if the
cronscript is documented in the lwat-package
