Hi,

I have a requirement where human users will be logging in with their AD 
accounts. However, there are some applications that create local user and group 
and at times, the AD users may need to work on the application, view/edit files 
owned by the application user/group, run programs etc. Therefore we need to 
create some sort of mapping between the AD users and the local group.

After coming through this mailing list, I realized that the recommendation is 
to add the remote AD users into the local group by way of modifying /etc/group 
file. What I am wondering is that, is this the only way to solve the problem or 
is there any other way (presumably better way) to handle this? 

I am using Puppet already. Therefore I think I may use the augeas provider to 
edit /etc/group file to add the users. I also need to devise a way so that 
users can be deleted from /etc/group easily in an automated fashion. Has anyone 
got any tips under their sleeve that can be used to roll out this feature in a 
lot of servers? 

Thanks,
