    Hi All,

            I'm in the process of designing a plan to move a lot of debian
    workstations (all with local users configured) to a ldap managed en-
    vironment and have some choices to make, some easy, some tough. Here
    one of the last category:

            In order to keep the users using applications they derive from
    their current local group memberships, I intend to recreate the local
    groups (luckily all according to the default Debian installer policy
    and uniquely identified by the same gid over all workstations) in the
    ldap tree.

            Should I create each and every group (audio with gid=29 for
    example) in the ldap tree with the same group id as locally defined?

            Will those two groups colide and if so, what is the best way
    to solve this collision?

    Sincerely,

    Jan.
