Hi,

Using --gidnumber when adding a new user with "ipa user-add" does not 
seem to have any effect. A gid number with the same value as what I 
specify in with the --uid parameter is chosen.

I presume this is not the way user-add is intended to work?


# ipa user-add mysql14 --first=MySQL --last=Server 
--homedir=/var/lib/mysql --shell=/bin/false --uid=110 --gidnumber=3004
--------------------
Added user "mysql14"
--------------------
   User login: mysql14
   First name: MySQL
   Last name: Server
   Full name: MySQL Server
   Display name: MySQL Server
   Initials: MS
   Home directory: /var/lib/mysql
   GECOS field: mysql14
   Login shell: /bin/false
   Kerberos principal: mysql14 at IX.NIXTRA.COM
   UID: 110
   GID: 110



Regards,
Siggi
