Dear Jeff,
I don't think there's a difference managing a user on mixed
authentication schemes. The priority is in /etc/nsswitch.conf, all
schemes providing a users groups are defined there.
# add new group, and user. Note: user has to logout or login to new
group (man newgrp) to register his updated group membership.
root$ groupadd newgroup
root$ gpasswd -a username newgroup
# check user username is in newgroup
root$ getent group username
(alternative) root# id username
# change permission of folder for new group
root$ chgrp newgroup /folder
root$ chmod g=rx /folder

Fabio,
The group is not in LDAP but the user is. The group is one I created on
the system itself. Basically, I am trying to give the user access to a
folder without giving him root access.
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,
You can use smbldap-tools and type :
# smbldap-groupmod -m <user> <group>
Or, if you don't use this tool, just add as an attribute of your group
in LDAP base :
memberUid: <user>
If you do not use any tool to manage LDAP, you can insert these content
on a file :
dn: <full DN of group>
changetype: modify
add: memberUid
memberUid: <user>
and then, run the following line :
# ldapmodify -D "<admin DN>" -W -x -f <file>
A great tool for managing LDAP can be found here :

I just took over our Linux environment and need some assistance with
groups. Our users authenticate via LDAP and I need to add a user to a
new group I created. How do I add an LDAP user to a group on a single
system?
Thanks,
