login, and su root

from here change to /tmp

make a dump of the LDAP Database

create a file for the new group you are going to add, let’s go with Finance

and edit the Finance Template

it shoudl be setup as follows (gid must be unique for each group)

type this command to add the file to the database

now the finance group has been added to the database

That’s it, you added a new group to the LDAP Database!
