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
