Description Nick Boldt CLA 2008-09-15 16:33:41 EDT 
Tried to do a lookup to see what groups marcelop is a member of, and got some mixed results.

If I run this on node4, I get:

$  groups marcelop
id: cannot find name for group ID 8069
id: cannot find name for group ID 8341

But on node1, node2, node3, and build:

$ groups marcelop
id: cannot find name for group ID 8069

So, two questions:

a) why can't I see Marcelo's groups?
b) what is group ID 8341, and why is he a member of that group... but only on node4?

According to the `id marcelop` command, group ID 8341 == emftadmin. I'm not sure, but I don't think Marcelo is an EMFT committer. 

Still not sure what group ID 8069 is, but if I had to guess I think it might be either the now-obsolete "emf" or "emf-dev" group, which have become group ID 8652(modeling.emf.emf).

Nick, it seems that Marcelo's default group is the 8069 that doesn't exist.  I'll fix that and put him in the same default group as 99% of our users.  Default groups are treated differently than other groups in LDAP just like in the passwd/group files.

You're correct, he is not an EMFT committer as of Dec of last year.  I will remove him from EMFT groups.

Thanks!
