[Fedora-directory-users] Re: Windows sync: how do you populate the posixUser attributes?

[Kenneth Holter]

Hi.

I may be missing something here, but why not simply search the RHDS for new
entries (i.e. entries which doesn't have the posix attributes set) instead
of polling AD? The entries found after such a search are simply added the
required posix (and maybe other) attributes, and then the users is good to
go.
