I wonder if we should add a sentence like "See section 'Managing Unique
UID and GID Number Assignments' in the FreeIPA Documentation for
details' to point the admin to the right directory? Or replace the last
sentence with something more explicit like 'The dnaNextRange attribute
of 'cn=Posix IDs,cn=Distributed Numeric Assignment
Plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config' has to be modified to match the new range'?
