Description Tim Niemueller 2011-04-19 15:59:49 UTC 
Description of problem:
We want to assign a specific group to new users, e.g. "staff". But adding the --gidnumber argument has no effect, the GID is always set to the UID of the user.


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


Additional info (console log demonstrating the problem):
[root@threepwood ~]# ipa group-add --gid=810 testgroup

-----------------------
Added group "testgroup"

[root@threepwood ~]# ipa user-add --first=Test --last=User --cn="Test User" --homedir=/home/testuser --shell=/bin/bash --uid=805 --gidnumber=810 testuser
