Hi Namachivayan,
Thanks for your help. What I need to do is figure out a way to use
ldapadd rather than using the ldif file as I would like automate the
UID generation.
I found this objectClass in samba somewhere, it's basically just an object
that holds a gidNumber and a uidNumber value. When my add_user script runs,
it will first find this object, grab the values, create the user, then
increment them as needed.
objectClasses: ( UnixIdPool-oid NAME 'UnixIdPool' SUP top STRUCTURAL MUST ( cn
$ gidNumber $ uidNumber ) X-ORIGIN 'user defined' )
