You can't in the _web_ interface, but you can in the console.  This 
won't work from the Users&Groups tab in the main console window.  Open 
the Directory Server into which you want to add the users.  Go to the 
Directory tab.  With the Properties editor, you can "posix" enable an 
existing user or create a new user with the posix attributes.
