Hi -

Well use case here is that we currently have users who have specific 
uid's that are the same over all boxes, this is managed by distributing 
password files basically. Now we'd like to bring IPA into the mix to 
replace this user administration method but we want to keep uid's the 
same across IPA'd and non IPA'd hosts at the moment.

I can achieve that with

ipa-adduser brownb -p Password01 --addattr uidnumber=7296 -f Bobby -l 
Brown ??

thanks

ah seems i wrote gui in my inital mail rather than uid - my bad
