Thanks Patrick,
After some changes... I think I shall go and eat and come back later.
Thanks for all the help :)
For Posix groups, most systems expect you to use
"memberUid" rather
than "uniqueMember" to specify group members, and to include uid names
rather than DNs.
I now have this:
[fontenwp@ldap bin]$ ./ldapsearch -b "dc=fontenotshome,dc=org"
"objectclass=posixgroup"
version: 1
dn: cn=LinuxAdmins,ou=Groups, dc=fontenotshome,dc=org
objectClass: top
objectClass: groupofuniquenames
objectClass: posixgroup
cn: LinuxAdmins
gidNumber: 750
memberUid: fontenwp
dn: cn=LinuxUsers,ou=Groups, dc=fontenotshome,dc=org
objectClass: top
objectClass: groupofuniquenames
objectClass: posixgroup
cn: LinuxUsers
gidNumber: 500
memberUid: fontenwp
[fontenwp@ldap bin]$
I still have this:
[fontenwp@ldap bin]$ id
uid=500(fontenwp) gid=500 groups=500
[fontenwp@ldap bin]$
and the error
"id: cannot find name for group ID 500"
