Groups

[Jeff Poling]

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,

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
