I recently completed Redhats course on Directory Services and decided to setup a test deployment using Fedora. In the course of doing this I came across a couple of issues that I need to answer before I could use Directory as a valid authentication system. 1) The web interface appears to create/handle group entrys different from those migrated from the local files using the Redhat class altered paddle scripts. From the class I remember changing the 'group' schema to 'groups'. End result, is there a way to create/manage 'groups' schema entries using the Directory web page that match those created when my existing /etc/group was migrated using the altered paddle scripts. If not, why does Redhat suggest this change in their class? 2) Is there a way that the Directory web page can be used to create new user accounts that include an autogen uid and gid? Currently it appears to create a new user with all the posix data turned off. This is fine from a management position as long as a uid generator exist to keep me safe from producing duplicate uid/gid numbers. Any help is appreciated. Best Regards, JD
