Re:Error adding ldapusers

SUSE ships with rfc2307bis by default, where posixGroup is not structural, but auxiliary. The idea with rfc2307bis is to be able to have groups that work for Unix group membership also work for other LDAP-only groups (eg ACLs or limits based on groups) which use the objectclass groupOfNames. Members of these groups are "DN"s (not "uid"'s), listed in the "member" (not "memberUid") attribute.

On the LDAP server, you could potentially change schemas back to rfc2307 (nis.schema), and you would have to disable rfc2307bis on the SUSE clients too. Or, you could use rfc2307bis everywhere.

An article like this should mention differences between distros<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...
