smbldap-groupmod - Modify a group

smbldap-groupmod [-g gid [-o]] [-a] [-r rid] [-s sid] [-t group type] [-n group_name ] [-m members(,)] [-x members (,)] group

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 group 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 CW$SID-$rid where CW$SID and CW$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=$SID-rid where CW$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.

smbldap-groupmod -g 253 development This will change the GID of the 'development' group to '253'.

smbldap-groupmod -n Idiots Managers This will change the name of the 'Managers' group to 'Idiots'.

smbldap-groupmod -m jdoe,jsmith Domain Admins This will add 'jdoe' and 'jsmith' to the 'Domain Admins' group.

smbldap-groupmod -x jdoe,jsmith Domain Admins This will remove 'jdoe' and 'jsmith' from the 'Domain Admins' group.
