The Unix module manages Unix user accounts including group

+ UID generator: LAM will suggest UID numbers for your

+ IDs assigned if users create accounts at the same time. Use an
+ overlay
+ like "Attribute Uniqueness" if you have lots of LAM admins

+
+
+ Fixed range: LAM searches for free numbers within the
+ given limits. LAM always tries to use a free UID that is
+ greater than the existing UIDs to prevent collisions with
+ deleted accounts.

+
+ Samba ID pool: This uses a special LDAP entry that
+ includes attributes that store a counter for the last used
+ UID/GID. Please note that this requires that you install the
+ Samba schema and create an LDAP entry of object class
+ "sambaUnixIdPool".

+
+
+ Password hash type: If possible use CRYPT-SHA512 or SSHA to
+ protect your user's passwords.

+ Login shells: List of valid login shells that can be
+ selected when editing an account.
