What I'm trying to do is to create users (object class posixAccount) and don't have to provide uid manually. I'm not sure how I can achieve this since uid is mandatory attribute for posixAccount. In FDS's website, under Recent News it is mentioned that Fedora DS gets posix/unix automatic uid generation (02/08/2007). If this is called distributed numeric assignment plugin, then this is the feature I want to use. As I've mentioned all ready I'm not running admin server so I don't know if this plugin is installed or configured.
