Unhappy Grounding plastic or ceramic sockets?
I am installing a ceramic outdoor ceiling, light socket, but there is no place to attach the green ground wire. The same is true on a plastic ceiling light socket I have. Where am I supposed to attach the ground wire?

Attach it to the light fixture bracket in the box.

They are both connected to round plastic, electrical boxes that are connected to wood studs, the fixtures are one all plastic and one all ceramic porch lights. Both have with no pull chain and no metal brackets or grounding screws.
