## Groups

### Unix

This module is used to manage Unix group entries. This is the default module to manage Unix groups and uses the nis.schema. Suse users who use the rfc2307bis.schema need to use LAM Pro.

### Unix groups with rfc2307bis schema (LAM Pro)

Some applications (e.g. Suse Linux) use the rfc2307bis schema for Unix accounts instead of the nis schema. In this case group accounts are based on the object class groupOf(Unique)Names. The object class is auxiliary in this case.

LAM Pro supports these groups with a special account module: rfc2307bisPosixGroup

Use this module only if your system depends on the rfc2307bis schema. The module can be selected in the LAM configuration.

### Samba 3

LAM supports managing Samba 3 groups. You can set special group types and also create Windows predefined groups like "Domain admins".

### phpGroupWare

LAM can add and remove the phpGroupWare extension for group accounts. There are no additional attributes that may be managed.

### Quota

You can manage file system quotas with LAM. This requires to setup lamdaemon. File system quotas are not stored inside LAM but managed directly on the specified servers.
