Description Martin Kosek 2016-01-04 11:40:55 UTC
Description of problem:

As reported in
https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2015-December/msg00259.html
it is suggested that

$ ipa-host-net-manage

is used for managing netgroups. Instead, "ipa netgroups-*" commands can be suggested.

However, under normal conditions, the netgroups commands should not be used with the shadowed netgroups that just mirror hostgroups, but rather only with "native" netgroups created via "netgroup-add" command.
