Paul,
Go to the group entry. Right click and select 'Advanced properties'. Click on objectclass and click 'Add Value'. It should like all objectclasses you can add.

I'm *assuming* you mean somewhere other than here (in the attached png
file). When I go to create the group and attempt to add the posixgroup
object class I do not see that option anywhere - lots of other things
though. I will go back to hunting the information on the fedora site as
well.
Thanks for the help,

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.

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,
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.

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.

Thanks,

Paul
