Ralf,
Thank you for your clear and detailed explanation! I don't mind at all to send the enhancement request. Which type of ER is most appropriate for that: "Feature Enhancement" or "Problem with Existing Problem" or it doesn't matter? I am not exactly sure what you are referring to, here. Especially what "Problem with Existing Problem" is. :)
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am referring to this page http://www.novell.com/enhancement_request/
Another q: While trying to add my _first_ user via useradd I stumbled upon the following error:
gene2:~ # useradd -D "cn=admin,dc=biocl,dc=weizmann,dc=ac,dc=il" --service ldap lssafran Enter LDAP Password: Cannot find base ou for new users. LDAP information update failed: Operations error
I've also noticed, that after having added at _least_ one user via YaST, I can then add any number of users via useradd without problem.
Hm, it seems that useradd is unable to find a suitable parent object for the new user. I don't know exactly what useradd does here. Might be worth another feature request (allowing to specify the parent object for a new user).
If so, then it raises another question, how come useradd is able to figure out what parent ou to pick for the next user? Does useradd do it by taking ou of the first user is stumbles upon in DIT or does it pick a random one? What if I have several groups of users under different ou's? I realize that these questions would be better handled by someone who is familiar with the source code of useradd. -- Warm regards, Michael Green -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
