Problem in the UI.  Noticed it late last week myself, when I uploaded a 
really large dataset to the server.  For example, since all users go int 
othe ipausers (unix) group, that facet one will only show the first 100

I entered a ticket for this.  Needs to get into the spec, too

Not sop in the latest UI:  You can see it here

Filter is preserved, list gets refreshed.

Yeah...haven't figured out a good way grey out the button, as we are 
currently using the JQuery UI button for that control.

The greying out of links was accomplished a while back.

Kyle Deserves it.  Kyle Rocks!

We are pretty consistantly using New Groups all over the place.  We can 
make the change.

Managed By is there, but I think we lost "Hosts Managing Me"  there have 
been a lot of problems with the associations, and I would not be 
surprised if the LDAP relationship underneath it matches something that 
we deceded elsewhere we don't want to show.

Yes.  text  is "Managed By"

Automount should not be there.   DNS would have to be reverese engineered.
