You can use ldapexplorer tool (cross platform sfw), it's possible to create template for posix account. or ldapadmin (win sfw) I use fedora-ds, you can create posix account directly by right click in the admin console. it's not the case with redhat directory server? -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Kenneth Holter Sent: Monday 5 May 2008 11:18 To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: Mapping user group ID to user group name in Directory Server Thank you for the link. I wasn't too clear on this, but the problem I'm having is more RH Directory Server related. I'm familar with how to add/modify users and groups on linux, but getting DS to manage these was not very intuitive. After playing around some more I found that when adding a group I need to manually specify that it is a posix group. Adding a user (and a corresponding group) using DS seems to be a multi-step process, and is thus quite time consuming. Is there a way to create templates/shortcuts for posix user/group management in RH DS?
