Enabling eDirectory Groups for Linux Access
There are two methods for enabling eDirectory groups for Linux access:
"Using iManager" on page 157
"Using LUM Utilities at the Command Prompt" on page 157
Using iManager
The following steps assume that the eDirectory Group objects already exist and that any User
objects you want to enable for Linux also exist and have been assigned to the groups.
1 Log in to iManager as the eDirectory Admin user or equivalent.
2 Click Linux User Management > Enable Groups for Linux.
3 Browse to and select one or more Group objects, then click OK.
4 If you want all users assigned to the group to be enabled for Linux, make sure the Linux-Enable
All Users in These Groups option is selected.
5 Click Next twice.
6 Browse to and select one or more UNIX Workstation (OES 2 server) objects, then click OK.
7 Click Next, click Finish, then click OK.
Using LUM Utilities at the Command Prompt
Novell Linux User Management includes utilities for creating new LUM-enabled groups, and for
enabling existing eDirectory groups for Linux access.
The nambulkadd utility lets you use a text editor to create a list of groups you want enabled for
Linux access. For more information, see "nambulkadd" in the
Management Technology
IMPORTANT: Be sure to include a blank line at the end of each text file. Otherwise, the last
line of the file won't be processed properly.
The namgroupadd utility lets you create a new LUM-enabled group or enable an existing
eDirectory group for Linux access. For more information, see "namgroupadd" in the
