getent passwd works, but not getent group

03-25-2010, 04:27 PM

For some reason my client server is not pulling group information from
the ldap server. "getent passwd" pulls over all the relevant accounts
from the ldap database. "getent group", however, is missing my
personal group. I don't have any entries for my user in /etc/passwd
or /etc/group on the local server.

If you have any idea how to fix this, I'm all ears.

This is in my /etc/nsswitch.conf:

group: files ldap

Also, if it's any help, I can see groups that were created with the
GUI using "Add Group", but I can't see my own personal posix group.
