Replying to [ticket:4343 brianjmurrell]:

I suppose this could certainly be pebkac since this is the first time I am trying something like this however:

{{{

ipa automember-add --type=group all_hosts

ipa: ERROR: Group: all_hosts not found!

ipa hostgroup-show all_hosts

Host-group: all_hosts
Description: Host group which will have all hosts in it.
}}}
How can hostgroup-show show me a group that automember-add fails to find?

Because it is a host group not a user group. Your are adding the wrong type.

Thanks for that. I wasn't noticing the difference between group and hostgroup as I was trying to make the example I found for automembering users to a group work for hosts.

Clearly this can be closed with a reason code of PEBKAC. :-)
