Jared,
You can use getent on boxes where LDAP/AD authentication is enabled. It will
give details of gid and uid in LDAP/AD. See man page of getent for more details.
bash-3.00$ getent
usage: getent database [ key ... ]
bash-3.00$ getent passwd guptav
guptav:x:20202:20:Vishal Gupta:/home/guptav:/bin/ksh
bash-3.00$ getent group | grep dba
bash-3.00$ getent group | grep guptav
Regards,
Vishal Gupta

problem solved.
Windows authentication through is enabled on this server.
A user can logon with the same account that is used to logon to Windows servers.
There was a dba group in Active Directory.
ls -ldn revealed that rather than group 300, files set to dba by root were
being created with the GID from Winbind.
resolution: rename the AD group from dba to ldba (not being used anyway)

I seem to be experiencing one of 2 things here:
1) I can't see something right in front of me
2) Permissions are not working as expected.
Create a directory as root, change owner to oracle:dba,
and enable group write permissions.
as root:
# mkdir -p exp/pr09
# chown -R oracle:dba exp
# chmod -R g+w exp
# ls -ld exp exp/pr09
drwxrwxr-x 3 oracle dba 4096 Oct 20 16:04 exp
drwxrwxr-x 2 oracle dba 4096 Oct 20 16:04 exp/pr09
Try to create a file in new directory - fails
as jkstill:
> pwd
/u01/exp/pr09
> touch x
touch: cannot touch `x': Permission denied
> rm /tmp/x
> touch /tmp/x
> ls -l /tmp/x
-rw-r----- 1 jkstill dba 0 Oct 20 16:06 /tmp/x
> ls -ld .
drwxrwxr-x 2 oracle dba 4096 Oct 20 16:04 .
as root:
# chmod o+w exp/pr09
as jkstill:
> pwd
/u01/exp/pr09
> touch x
> ls -ld x
-rw-r----- 1 jkstill dba 0 Oct 20 16:08 x
Any clues as to why group permissions are not allowing me to write to
this directory?
I'm fully prepared to feel stupid...
