Ok, good, that looks like it should cover the bulk of our migration.

The other problems I'm looking at are probably more of design issues.
Are there a deployment guide somewhere as well ?

Currently we use netgroups for servers and users, mainly to manage who
can log in to which server trough pam_access/access.conf plus for sudo
rules. Should we continue using netgroups, or will the "user groups" and
"host groups" in IPA cover this ? Does the user groups allow nesting of
posix groups ? I.e. user1 is member of group1 which automatically make him
member of group2 and group3?

Some guides for configuring roles/privileges would be very interesting. 
We want to have "group admins" who are allowed to add/remove members of 
the groups this admin admins... Also we might want to allow team leaders
to add new users..

Oh.. and are there any training available/planned for IPA (v2)?
