[Fedora-directory-users] getent?

[Paul Fontenot]

I'm *assuming* you mean somewhere other than here (in the attached png
file). When I go to create the group and attempt to add the posixgroup
object class I do not see that option anywhere - lots of other things
though. I will go back to hunting the information on the fedora site as
well. 

Thanks for the help,

-Paul
