If so, how? :) Each posixGroup can have multiple memberUid entries. In our environment, a memberUid is specified by username (not numeric uid); I suspect that's normal practice, but you might want to get confirmation from others. A user's posixAccount record has no backward mapping of group memberships; it only contains the standard gidNumber entry. In short: 1. Define the posixGroup DN 2. Add one or more memberUid entries. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/
