[olug] local groups and Active Directory

[Adam Lassek]

SuSE 10.2 lets you configure a Windows Domain during the initial
setup. I never had to configure anything myself.

I don't see how falling back to local unix files would make a
difference for my problem, as the Directory authentication works fine.
Since the user accounts are coming from AD, and not /etc/passwd, they
are not present in that file. Is there an alternate method for
assigning local groups?
