Fresh install of FDS 1.4. I am using the default ( option 2 typical install ) dc=mydomain,dc=com install. I can add users with no problems, and configure clients ( other linux boxes ) to authenticate against this LDAP server.
One problem though, If I create a user, with posix, specify a new uid and gid, all is well except on login, the group is not created.
So, I go to add the group, I can add the group name, but there is no place to specify the GID. What am I missing?
Right click, add user is file with all posix, then do the same on group, but no area to specify the numeric GID.
Assistance greatly appreciated.

Mark, if you using the console, first you need to add the objectclass posixgroup (under advanced properties of that group). This should give you a gidnumber field. Without that objectclass, it just a group (not a posix group).

How the heck do I set permissions so that admin can manage password policy? I did it once a while back but can't remember.
Since I don't have permissions, every time I try to manage password policy in the java console the window just blanks out and that's what I am after fixing with permissions, I just can't remember how I did it last time
Another interesting question would be, why isn't the admin by default not allowed to manage passwords for users and groups, etc.? That just doesn't make sense. You'd think the person who set the server up (ie- admin) should have the ability to manage users/groups passwords without playing a bunch with ACIs.
Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming you mean the console admin user?

The admin is by default allowed to manage passwords, if you use the setup program and have it create your DIT for you.

There really is no way around ACIs for any user other than directory manager. The setup program tries to be smart about adding the right ACIs to various places. But if you import an LDIF file, you have to add the ACIs manually.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, the console admin user.

I did use the setup program to configure everything. I have no permissions as admin to manage passwords on my LDAP directory, hence the post. Not for Groups, not for Users...nothing!
I remember changing permissions on something to get it to work so I could manage passwords with admin, but don't remember the specific thing it was...and that is what I am after.
I am using 1.0.4 for fedora-ds BTW.
Thank you.

Can you post what ACIs you do have?
