[Fedora-directory-users] Automatically incrementing uidNumber

Greetings -

I've been moving right along with the new release of fedora-ds on rhel4
using the downloaded 7.1 rpm. I hoping that I just missed this, but is
there a way to automatically increment the uidNumber for posix accounts -
so when a new posix user gets created, the next uidNumber get's assigned
to the new user? I accomplished this with phpLdapAdmin and openldap -
phpLdapAdmin had function that would search for the highest uidNumber and
increment it by 1 and populate the uidNumber attribute. If this doesn't
exist yet, is there any chance of making that a feature request - either
that or a uidNumber pool which keeps track of the last uidNumber used.

Thanks
Jeff
