hi at all,for migration of groups and users from files to Fedora DS I used LdapImport...it exports groups,passwd and shadow files; I have all users and groups in my DS...now I have a question:
When I create a new account, in posix tab I have to enter uid and gid number for new user...is it possible to use name such as "mail" for gid and is it possible to have an uid number automatically?...more or less in the same way when you create a new account with adduser; It would be very useful...in this way I haven't to remember last uid used and number for that group.
thanks in advance!

No, I think it has to be a number.
and is it possible to have an uid number automatically?...more or less in the same way when you create a new account with adduser; It would be very useful...in this way I haven't to remember last uid used and number for that group.
Right. It's on our wishlist - I don't know when we'll get around to it. http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Wishlist
thanks in advance!

uhm, so can you confirm me that to create a new account I have to specify uid and gid in numerical way ? And in this way if mail is 4 example 501 any user with gid 501 is member of mail group?
thanks Alex

In the Posix fields, yes. The fields uidNumber and gidNumber have to be an integer.

Yes.

what's really strange is that if you're adding a person to multiple groups (really, listing multiple memberuid attributes in a posixgroup) you MUST use the text name of the person. Even though the attr is called member*uid*, if you put the uid in there, it won't work. Text string must be specified. I know it's not FDS's fault but as my kids would say, "that's just whack."
