Hello, First of all, sorry if my question is very simple but I'm new in Free-IPA. I want to migrate my current NIS configuration (ypserv+ypbind) with shared NFS home folders. I have a script to add all my NIS users to IPA assigning 6th field from /etc/passwd as "--homedir". In my scenario, all users log in computers that acts as "YP clients", so when they log in, $HOME folders has been created before in my NFS server and have UID/GID assigned correctly.
Now, with Free-IPA, if I create a new user in the server, I need to create before his/her folder, because that user will log in in a Free-IPA client computer and user folders are mounted using NFS. So my question is: when I create that folder in the server, what uid/gid must I assign if user is not already created? I have read in some webs that if user folders are shared in a NFS environment, that users folders must be created before user first login... but if I create user folder before "ipa user-add", how can I know gid/uid that I must apply in "ipa user-add" command? I have read that uid/gid from system are not the same that uid/gid I can check with "ipa user-show". Thanks. But that all users already exist before installation of Free-IPA, so no -- _______________________________________________ FreeIPA-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
