As there is little interest in guaranteeing a coherence between the uid 
and gid fields (i.e. they should exist, but do not need to be the same), 
creating two identical ldifs with the strings "uid" and "gid" used 
respectively was all that was required.

Thank you again for taking the time out to explain some of the ins and 
outs of using the plug-in.  Here's hoping that some documentation will 
be forthcoming ; out of curiousity, who is responsible for writing such 
things ?  Is it a Red Hat official of some type, or can any community 
member contribute ?
