look at the SAMPLE_RECORDS.txt file that is part of the package to see an example grup record. you can also use the LDAPUserFolder to create a new group and add users to it, then examine the group and its structure. ... i know that the structure as provided by those PADL tools must be retained if you want to use LDAP authentication for your computers, like with the NSS-LDAP package. maybe those tools allow you to specify the creation of other groups?
Yes, I wanted to keep the same authentication mechanism for some dual boot (linux+samba+W2K) workstations and a Zope application, but I don't know if there's any drawback when setting additional non-unix-related groups or when modifying the default ones. I think I'll enter nightmare mode real soon now :-(
if your number of groups is small you could even take the groups information created by the PADL tools and massage it by hand to get the desired result.
That's something I'll try. Thanks for the tip. information on all this is very sparse, unfortunately. if I ever manage to get all this working then I'll make an howto, unless one already exists bye, Jerome Alet
