[Fedora-directory-users] ObjectClass PosixGroup + UID/GID auto-generation

[Kashif Ali]

Hello All,

After spending a long weekend, configuring Fedora-DS to have central
autentication + Central home dirs, I now have two issues which I would like
to know if anyone can help me with.

1) Currently when adding a new user, I have to manually goto advanced
options and add a value called posixgroup to the object class, this is so
that groupID have a name and you dont see the error GroupID name not found
when logging onto a box. Is there anyway to update the default user
template, so that, when you enable posixaccount, posixgroup objectclass is
automatically added? thus removing the manual process?

2) Is there anyway to get the directory server generate UNIQUE UID/GID based
on last uid created. Ideally I would like the range to start from 5000 and
finish at 8000. The automatic procedure would just use the next available
uid/gid in the list, again removing the need for the user to check and make
sure the id is unique.

any help with either of these issues would be much appreciated.

Regards

Kashif
