The command 'ipa user-add --help' succeeds giving me the correct
help message. But when I try to add the user it fails:<br>
</font>
<blockquote><tt>ipa user-add foo --to-stage --first=foo --last=foo</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>ipa: ERROR: Unknown option: tostage</tt><br>
</blockquote>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"><br>
This seems to occur because the frontend find this is a
'remaining' option.. but what does it means ?<br>
I tried to add the new options as internal options, or with
different names, but it gives the same results. <br>
I know it is a very novice question, but I have really no idea I
should fix it. Anyone know what I am missing ?<br>
<br>
