Hello, I am having some problems with OpenLDAP 2.2.25 and FreeBSD 5.3.=20 I can currently authenticate against my ldap db, and utilities like id and = chown work with no problem.=20 The problem is gid to group name mapping. In my ldif files, I can have a "uid" entry and a "uidNumber" entry. It would look something like this: uid: testuser uidNumber: 2001 and that works. I cannot have a group entry of the same. gid: testgroup gidNumber: 2001 OpenLDAP would complain that it couldnt read this file properly.. not = until the "gid:testgroup" entry was removed. =20 When I attempt to use an app like "chown" I have to specify the actual gid number, eg: chown -R testuser:2001 /home/testuser I was wondering if anyone had found a way to have it so that you could just enter it by name, and not by number. eg: chown -R testuser:testgroup /home/testuser Obviously I would have to add a gid entry in my schema file, but I am left wondering why this isnt already in there.. I dont want to spend a few = hours trying to re-invent the wheel when there is already a reason for it to not be in there. Any help or light on this situation is deeply appreciated. If you need = more information, please let me know and I shall provide it. Thanks - Don Brearley
