help with groups?



Hi all,

I'd like to use some groups to manage my LDAP server.  Specifically, 
I'd like to create a group of people who can admin the LDAP server.

However, I'm a little confused on how to create a group.  What would 
the LDIF tree look like?  When I created my initial LDIF file for 
importing, I created entries like this:

	dn              : cn=John J Jones,ou=people,dc=foo,dc=bar
	mobile          : 900-555-1212
	initials        : J
	givenName       : John
	telephoneNumber : 900-555-3434
	sn              : Aballi
	ou              : people
	l               : Scranton, PA
	l               : WS 2-247
	manager         : cn=Joe P Manager,ou=people,dc=foo,dc=bar
	mail            : jones_john@foo.bar
	objectClass     : person
	objectClass     : organizationalPerson
	objectClass     : inetOrgPerson
	uid             : jonesj
	title           : Intern
	cn              : John J Jones
	employeeNumber  : 52385


I'd like to craete a group called 'ldap' and assign certain people to
it as members (ideally for use as an authentication mechanism).  But
I'm a little fuzzy on how to create the group and assign members to
it.  Help and/or pointers to docs would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

	It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
