Description Tim Niemueller 2011-04-19 14:59:20 UTC 
Description of problem:
When adding a new user a private group with the same name as the user and its UID as GID is created. Since we do not have a need for it but rather want new users to be in a "staff" group (for instance) we want to be able to turn off this feature.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freeipa-server-2.0.0-1.fc15.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new user
2. ipa group-find --private
  
Actual results:
Shows a private group with name and GID as user's name and UID.

Expected results:
No private group.

Additional info:
Discussed with JrAquino on IRC.
