Ok, I see.  Sure.  I would love to get a list of features of other LDAP 
administration tools that are not supported by the Fedora DS console.
1) Support auto-increment of uidNumber (other attributes?  gidNumber?)
2) Support for shadowAccount host based access restriction (feature of 
DirectoryAdministrator)

I'd like to get this working - can you post the error messages you're 
seeing?  And access and errors log.
