I see, Do you know if the created userid has a function? I mean when I create a usergroup, which isn't a users primary group, would it be nescessary to have a (disabled) user with exactly the same name as the group? I'm working to have my SME server authenticate linux workstations through LDAP. When I create a user group in LDAP, should the corresponding userid also be created? greetings, Dennis Evers Riethoven, The Netherlands ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charlie Brady" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Dennis Evers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 8:00 PM Subject: Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Groups. > > On Tue, 28 May 2002, Dennis Evers wrote: > > > > Can anybody explain to me why a user account is created for a group? > > Check the RedHat manuals under user-private groups: > > http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7-Manual/ref-guide/s1-sysadmin- usr-grps.html > > -- > Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Lead Product Developer > Network Server Solutions Group http://www.e-smith.com/ > Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ > Phone: +1 (613) 592 5660 or 592 2122 Fax: +1 (613) 592 1175 > > > -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
