Hello All,
After spending a long weekend, configuring Fedora-DS to have central
autentication + Central home dirs, I now have two issues which I would
like to know if anyone can help me with.
1) Currently when adding a new user, I have to manually goto advanced
options and add a value called posixgroup to the object class, this is
so that groupID have a name and you dont see the error GroupID name
not found when logging onto a box. Is there anyway to update the
default user template, so that, when you enable posixaccount,
posixgroup objectclass is automatically added? thus removing the
manual process?
2) Is there anyway to get the directory server generate UNIQUE UID/GID
based on last uid created. Ideally I would like the range to start
from 5000 and finish at 8000. The automatic procedure would just use
the next available uid/gid in the list, again removing the need for
the user to check and make sure the id is unique.
There is a first version of a
"Distributed Numeric Assignment" plug-in
in the current Fedora Directory Server code that deals with this
problem. It is designed to manage a range of unique numeric values
across multiple master FDS instances.
You can read more about the current implementation at
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNA_Plugin_Implementation
I am currently doing some re-design and improvement to this plug-in to
address some shortcomings of the current implementation. These areas
are pointed out at the bottom of the above page.
-NGK
any help with either of these issues would be much appreciated.
Regards
Kashif
