Groups

[Kinzel, David]

/etc/group
 
Add it manually, or user lgroupadd/lusermod (the l is for libuser, which isn't ldap aware and just touches local files, last I checked).
 
Appologies for top posting and horrible formatting.

	Fabio,

	 

	The group is not in LDAP but the user is.  The group is one I created on the system itself.  Basically, I am trying to give the user access to a folder without giving him root access.

	 

	Thanks,

	 

	Jeff

	Jeff,

	 

	You can use smbldap-tools and type :

	 

		# smbldap-groupmod -m <user> <group>

		 

	Or, if you don't use this tool, just add as an attribute of your group in LDAP base :

	 

		memberUid: <user>

		 

	If you do not use any tool to manage LDAP, you can insert these content on a file :

	 

		dn: <full DN of group>

		changetype: modify

		add: memberUid

		memberUid: <user>

	 

	and then, run the following line :

	 

		# ldapmodify -D "<admin DN>" -W -x -f <file>

		 

	A great tool for managing LDAP can be found here : http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/13765.html

	 

	Cheers,

	Fábio Rampazzo Mathias

	I just took over our Linux environment and need some assistance with groups.  Our users authenticate via LDAP and I need to add a user to a new group I created.  How do I add an LDAP user to a group on a single system?

	 

	Thanks,

	 

	Jeff
