## 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).

\-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.
