[Fedora-directory-users] Groups

[Ted X Toth]

I added the posixgroup to the Object class of a group and gave it a 
gidnumber. The user I'm trying to login as is defined as a member of the 
group I added posixgroup to but still the group doesn't seem to have 
been retrieved because when I do 'id' the group name isn't displayed.
