    All,

    Got an odd one for the crowd, hopefully someone can give me a definitive answer.

    I have just upgraded my OD master to 10.6.2 (from 10.5.8, and it has been updated since probably 10.2), and I’m seeing group ID conflicts with the system level groups (wheel, kmem, daemon, sys, etc).

    If I do a `dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /Groups`, I see these groups. Now, I would think these groups wouldn’t exist within the OD, but rather just in the local directory on each computer. Which is why all my servers that are connected to the directory are throwing conflict errors every 2 hours (mismatch global gid, mismatch gid).

    Can I just remove these accounts from the OD? Should they not be there? Has anyone seen this before?

    I’m guessing this was some result of upgrading from 10.2 to 10.3 (since that was the netinfo to ldap jump).

    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Happy Holidays!

    These accounts did indeed result from the upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3.

    I have removed them, and it seems to have fixed the error with no ill side effects.

    If this happens to anyone else, feel free to remove them. Though, I’d make an OD backup first.
