Dear list members, I have groups in my directory which are groupOfNames. I would need them to also be posixGroup in order to hold a gid. With core.schema and nis.schema this is not possible as both groupOfNames and posixGroup are both STRUCTURAL. It has been pointed out to me that rfc2307bis.schema would allow this as this scheme defines posixGroup as AUXILIARY. However, as far as I understand, rfc2307bis.schema is stemmed from an RFC which has not been validated. RFC 2307 on the other hand is still valid, but with status experimental. Is that to say that it will not evolve beyond this point? I have little other info concerning this standard. Is rfc2307bis.schema likely to evolve or is it pretty much a fixed standard? Can anyone tell me if rfc2307bis.schema is something which can be recommended for use in a working ldap directory or if an another more elegant or less experimental solution exists?
At this point I would use RFC2307bis. Various authors have stepped up to release a final version of a newer spec but it keeps falling by the wayside. Still, any new spec is going to look more like RFC2307bis than RFC2307.
