John, thanks, this is great....I decided to try something based on
this. Since both users I'd added have the same gid, I noticed a
gidnumber field was added when I added posixgroup to Object class. I
set this fields value to that of the users gid. I removed the
previously added memberuid attribute that had the uid vaules of the
two users:

ardy at daw1~$ getent group guitar
guitar:*:1200:graz,mraz
ardy at daw1~$ id graz
uid=1200(graz) gid=1200(guitar) groups=1200(guitar)
ardy at daw1~$ id mraz
uid=1201(mraz) gid=1200(guitar) groups=1200(guitar)

Seems to me, at this juncture, its unnecessary to add the memberuid
attribute and fill it with uid values?

Some more experimenting, added another group, added posixgroup to
Object class, set the gidnumber for the group, added the same two
users to it:

ardy at daw1~$ getent group amplifier
amplifier:*:1201:graz,mraz
ardy at daw1~$ id graz
uid=1200(graz) gid=1200(guitar) groups=1200(guitar),1201(amplifier)
ardy at daw1~$ id mraz
uid=1201(mraz) gid=1200(guitar) groups=1200(guitar),1201(amplifier)

Now, while getent shows all groups for a user, is there a way to see
all the groups a specific user is in with 389-console, I'm not seeing
any secondary groups in advanced properties for the user.

Thanks again John, this really helped!
