    I don't know.  I just wanted to make sure you were using
    389-ds-base-1.2.11.5 or .6 or later on F-17 to avoid this "dangling"
    private group in the future.<br>

                    What is your platform and 389-ds-base version?<br>
                    <br>
                    I'm not familiar with group-detach, but you can
                    manually detach and remove the private group using
                    ldapsearch and ldapmodify:<br>
                    <br>
                    assuming you have done kinit admin:<br>
                    1) ldapsearch -LLL -Y GSSAPI cn=myname dn<br>
                    This will give you the DN of the group - ignore any
                    entries in the compat tree<br>
                    <br>
                    2) ldapmodify -Y GSSAPI <<EOF<br>
                    dn: DN of the group from ldapsearch<br>
                    changetype: modify<br>
                    delete: objectclass<br>
                    objectclass: mepManagedEntry<br>
                    -<br>
                    delete: mepManagedBy<br>
                    -<br>
                    <br>
                    dn: DN of the group from ldapsearch<br>
                    changetype: delete<br>
                    EOF<br>
                    <br>
                    This will remove the private group.<br>
