Mapping user group ID to user group name in Directory Server

[Kenneth Holter]

Thank you for your respons. I've moved the discussion over to the "Adding
posix users and groups in Directory Server" thread - just haven't had the
time to update this thread.

But regarding your reply: I will look into ldapexplorer if needed, but would
like to get the native RH DS tools working first.
Furthermore, like in fedora-ds it is possible to create a posix account by
right-clicking in the console, but then you get only the posix user not the
posix group. This is where my problem lies. Do you have a solution to this?
Please reply on the thread mentioned above.
