<div dir="ltr">Just wanted to pass along an issue I just had.<div><br></div><div>We have some legacy local users on some boxes, and we need to have a mix of those local users and IPA users in the same groups.</div><div><br>
</div><div>In order for that to happen (at least on AIX) I need to create a group in IPA with the GID of the local group. This can be a problem because the GID may be used by different groups on different boxes (we inherited this mess.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>To organize this, I would create groups like this in IPA:</div><div><br></div><div>host1-foogroup:208</div><div>host2-bargroup:208</div><div>host3-bazgroup:208</div><div><br></div><div>This worked, until I added a fourth group with the same GID. AIX stopped allowing members of 208 to connect to any hosts.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I was forced to move them all into a single group and abandon my attempts at organization.</div><div><br></div><div>This was hard to find, but obvious in retrospect.<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br>
