[Fedora-directory-users] FDS Groups

[Jared B. Griffith]

How would one go about configuring FDS to be able to do groups such as wheel and what not? 
I have it set up, but the client is not getting the groups out of the Groups OU.

Most likely, you've created a traditional LDAP static group 
(groupOfNames or groupOfUniqueNames) without the posixGroup objectClass.
Creating a "group" in the FDS console creates a groupOfUniqueNames object.
Do your group objects have "objectClass: posixGroup" and a gidNumber?

No they do not. I also am not seeing a way of modifying that right off the bat.

Thanks.

In relation of the addition of posix attributes to a user or group, is 
it possible to add these attributes automatically when adding users or 
group?  If so, how do I go about it?  How about automatically filling in 
the attribute values especially the UID and GUID?  Thanks

I don't see any way of automatically doing it unless you shell script it and do everything from the command line. 
The one thing that I do see as a potential problem (as you add more users) is the potential for the Posix UID's to be duplicated. Is there anyone here that has devised a script or some method of checking to see if the Posix UID is already in use when adding a user through the console. I am not so concerned about the GID, because we use Gentoo for our Linux desktop's and the GID for all users is going to be the same as the users group (100).
