Re: [Fedora-directory-users] Installing using yum, admin server & automatic uid

[Andreas Kekkou]

What I'm trying to do is to create users (object class posixAccount) and 
don't have to provide uid manually. I'm not sure how I can achieve this 
since uid is mandatory attribute for posixAccount. In FDS's website, 
under Recent News it is mentioned that Fedora DS gets posix/unix 
automatic uid generation (02/08/2007).  If this is called distributed 
numeric assignment plugin, then this is the feature I want to use. As 
I've mentioned all ready I'm not running admin server so I don't know if 
this plugin is installed or configured.
