HP StorageWorks P4000 G2 Unified NAS Gateway User Guide (5697-0624, November 2010)

Each line of a standard UNIX group file follows this format:
group:password:GID:group list
All fields are required, but only the group, GID, and group list fields are used. The GID field
value must match the GID field value in the password file for those users that belong to the group.
NOTE:
If you create the group and password files, you must have corresponding users and groups on the
UNIX system. The correspondence is through the numeric UID and GID; however, the user names
and group names can be different. For example, the UNIX root group can be associated with a
Windows group named rootgroup as long as its group ID of 0 is the same between them.
IMPORTANT:
• User names in the password file cannot match group names in the group file. Windows does not
allow user names and group names to be the same. An example of this is the root user which
typically belongs to the root group on a UNIX system. You would need to rename one of these.
For example, in the group file, you might rename the root group to rootgroup.
• User and group names in Windows are case insensitive. If the password or group files contain
accounts whose names differ only in their case, you will need to delete or rename entries in those
files.
• Users within the password file must have unique user IDs. Groups within the group file must have
unique group IDs.
• All users included in the password file are imported. Consider editing the file before running the
configuration script to retain only the users that you want mapped.
• All groups in the group file are imported. Consider editing the file before running the configuration
script to retain only the groups that you want mapped.
Script execution

the c:\hpnas\components\ADLDS folder. Executing the script with no command line options will
display the following help screen:
