what's really strange is that if you're adding a person to multiple groups (really, listing multiple memberuid attributes in a posixgroup) you MUST use the text name of the person. Even though the attr is called member*uid*, if you put the uid in there, it won't work. Text string must be specified. I know it's not FDS's fault but as my kids would say, "that's just whack."

uid is a text string username.
uidNumber is an integer user id number.

Yes, but Susan's point was that the generally accepted use of the term "uid" ( in systems and operating systems terms ) is a *number* that uniquely describes the user. LDAP is different from the norm, and "that's just whack".
