When extended for Linux, the eDirectory User object holds Linux-related prop-
erties, such as user ID, primary group ID, primary group name, location of home
directory, and preferred shell.
The group and its corresponding group ID are assigned as the user's primary
GID. If the selected user account already has a primary GID, this group's GID
is assigned to the user as secondary. You can choose any of the following ways
to assign the user to a group:
An Existing eDirectory Group
If the Group object has not yet been enabled for Linux, its properties are
extended to include Linux login attributes. You can click the Object Selector
icon to browse the tree for an existing group.
An Existing Linux-Enabled Group
This option lets you select an existing eDirectory Group object. If you use
the Object Selector to browse, you can view and select only those Group
objects already extended with Linux login attributes.
Create a New Linux-Enabled Group
This option lets you create a new eDirectory Group object. When created,
the Group object is extended to include Linux login attributes.

Users should now be able to use their eDirectory user login credentials to log in
to their SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop workstations.
