Paul, You have to create a group in ldap, then add the posixgroup object class. If you do this thru the admin console, you will then see a text box appear called gidnumber. In that box enter whatever gid you wish to use. Aaron Paul Fontenot wrote: Thanks Aaron, That's what has me stumped, the GID is there (that's the 500). I guess what has me confused is I can't figure out how to tie that number to a group and have it show in the getent group query. -Paul On Wed, 2008-01-02 at 16:11 -0500, Aaron Bliss wrote:Paul, You probably need to assign a gidnumber (posixgroup attribute) to your primary ldap group. I've noticed that linux boxes only recognize group memberships for groups that have gid's. Aaron Paul Fontenot wrote:Hi, I've searched hi and low and found a couple references to the problem I have but no solutions. If I issue 'getent passwd' I can see all the ldap users, if I issue a getent group I cannot see any of the ldap groups. When I log into one of my linux boxes I get 'id: cannot find name for group ID 500' (500 is an ldap group). What would cause this issue? I've been beating my head against it for a couple days and decided to turn to the experts.
