Hi Group, A while ago there was a discussion here about dynamic groups and the fact that the client(s) needs to handle this. I've been working with RHDS in combination with HP's LDAP-UX, where the client side of LDAP-UX does something smart to get dynamic groups working as posix groups, which is really really cool. Essentially, you get dynamic posix groups and a getent group (or grget on hp-ux) return the group including all dynamic (memberURL) and static (memberuid) members of a group. I'm trying to get a conclusive answer about if this is possible under linux. I thought pam_member_attribute would come to the rescue in this case, but that does not seem to work. So: is it possible to have dynamic members in a posix group under linux using nss_ldap and pam_ldap so a "getent group" returns dynamic members? If not, is there somebody working on it? or maybe even a commercial tool/add-on? Kind regards, Rubin.
