Overview
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.
