[Fedora-directory-users] adding users

[Steve Strong]

interesting, what about group membership that gives them access to data 
on the server?  how do you handle that?  and, even with this script, 
their home directories would have to be made, yes?  why not add the user 
to the unix side and then use the ldif you show here?  am I missing 
something?
