NAME
smbldap-groupmod - Modify a group
SYNOPSIS
smbldap-groupmod [-g gid [-o]] [-a] [-r rid] [-s sid] [-t group type] [-n group_name ] [-m members(,)] [-x members (,)] group
DESCRIPTION
The smbldap-groupmod command modifies the system account files to
reflect the changes that are specified on the command line. The options
which apply to the smbldap-groupmod command are
-g gid The numerical value of the group's ID. This value must be
unique, unless the -o option is used. The value must be non negative.
Any files which the old group ID is the file roup ID must have the file
group ID changed manually.
- -n group_name
- The name of the group will be changed from group to group_name.
- -m members
- The members to be added to the group in comma-delimeted form.
- -x members
- The members to be removed from the group in comma-delimted form.
- -a
- add an automatic Security ID for the group (SID). The rid of the
- group is calculated from the gidNumber of the group as rid=2*gidNumber+1001. Thus the resulted SID of the group is $SID-$rid where $SID
and $rid are the domain SID and the group rid - -s sid
- set the group SID.
The SID must be unique and defined with the domain Security ID - ($SID) like sid=$SID-rid where rid is the group rid.
- -r rid
- set the group rid.
The SID is then calculated as sid=$SID-rid where $SID is the domain - Security ID.
- -t group type
- set the NT Group type for the new group. Available values are 2
- (domain group), 4 (local group) and 5 (builtin group). The default
group type is 2.
