For gidNumber, are you thinking along the lines of the way a normal Red
Hat system creates a user, the same gid as the uid, vs a Suse box that
creates a user with a unique uid, but a common gid of 100 (users), I'm all
for the Red Hat way - maybe a configurable option.

I'll get working on this again and post the errors, schema, etc.
