You have to add the objectClass first before you can add certain attributes because it belongs to that objectclass. ie ObjectClass in your case would be posixGroup then you can gidNumber. Or better yet if doing lots of object manipulation I strongly recommend you learn how to edit objects via the command line its more powerful and adapt if you are modifying/adding/deleting several objects in the LDAP direcotory. Ie in your case, Unix groups and membership which I've documented for reference on my website http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/~ashley, look at "LDAP HOWTO Fedora Directory Server via Command line" Cheers then, Ashley > > I'm trying to create a new group "cn=testgroup" under the "ou=Groups" > which is already provided by default.
