Thank you for your respons. I've moved the discussion over to the "Adding posix users and groups in Directory Server" thread - just haven't had the time to update this thread. But regarding your reply: I will look into ldapexplorer if needed, but would like to get the native RH DS tools working first. Furthermore, like in fedora-ds it is possible to create a posix account by right-clicking in the console, but then you get only the posix user not the posix group. This is where my problem lies. Do you have a solution to this? Please reply on the thread mentioned above.
