[Fedora-directory-users] FDS-ADS Sync

[Richard Hesse]

FWIW, the same thing happened to me when we setup our FDS-AD sync
agreements. I can't say definitely, but the problem went away after we
stopped using the Fedora Console for user and group management. We wrote our
own tools to manage the directory data, and the disappearing users problem
went away. I'm not saying that the console is the cause, just throwing that
out there.

Good luck.
