Hi Stephen, > Pool accounts *must* be decimally numbered, that's how the system works. I think this is just a practice to make management easier. It is like calling a cluster machines somename001,somename002... rather than somename,someothername.... I don't think there should be any constrain how you call things in the code anyway. YAIM doesn't care about the pool accounts names as long as they are prefixed and have a UID and a GID for each in the user.conf. cheers alessandra > There are two formats, a mapping of a DN to e.g. "dteamsgm" is a fixed > mapping to an account called "dteamsgm", whereas a mapping to ".dteam" > maps to accounts called "dteamnnn" where nnn is a number.
