Paul,
You have to create a group in ldap, then add the posixgroup object class. If you do this thru the admin console, you will then see a text box appear called gidnumber. In that box enter whatever gid you wish to use.

Thanks Aaron,

That's what has me stumped, the GID is there (that's the 500). I guess
what has me confused is I can't figure out how to tie that number to a
group and have it show in the getent group query.

Paul,
You probably need to assign a gidnumber (posixgroup attribute) to your 
primary ldap group.  I've noticed that linux boxes only recognize group 
memberships for groups that have gid's.

Hi,

I've searched hi and low and found a couple references to the problem I
have but no solutions. 

If I issue 'getent passwd' I can see all the ldap users, if I issue a
getent group I cannot see any of the ldap groups. When I log into one of
my linux boxes I get 'id: cannot find name for group ID 500' (500 is an
ldap group).

What would cause this issue? I've been beating my head against it for a
couple days and decided to turn to the experts.

Thanks,

Paul
