I'm getting started with 389 server. I have a data center where I want to
synch the UIDs across hundreds of Red Hat boxes. I'm starting my way
through the documentation right now. I'm assuming 389 has some kind of
utility/shell script/something to synch UIDs across unix systems for SSO.
A) Is my assumption correct?
B) Can anyone point me to the chapter in the documentation that explains
how to do this?
Thank you.

You have several Red Hat machines and you want to consolidate the local
UIDs? No, this is not supported but there are ways you can make it work. The
UID range should be higher than what your local UIDs will be, then your
machines will look at LDAP for the information, it does not push, or modify
the Linux config files at all.
You can create a master password list and pre-consolidate your uids, gids
and import them into 389, using the migration tools. However there is one
thing that will be a problem, when the UID changes, the local file
permissions are going to break.
