Thats extremely strange, I've made clients including Fedora,Suse and Ubuntu bind to the FDS Ldap without a problem like that. Can you just verify something for me. ie login via the console or ssh into your client machine ie as jsmith as in your example and type groups. It should just list your groups in the shortform. ie you should see testgroup blah blah (all your groups) as with your example, you shouldn't see the ou,dc bits. If it does you can remap the lookup / search base usually by editing ldap.conf which you can find in /etc/ldap.conf most of the time including Fedora, SUSE & Ubuntu, but I can't say anything about Gentoo as I've havn't dealt with it recently. You should then look at the mappings / lookup ie for nss_base_passwd, nss_base_shadow, nss_base_group which are the three basic fields with Linux/Unix. In your case you would be dealing with nss_base_group. If you are caching the fields is with nscd you would have to do the same with nscd.conf. But still I find that extremely strange.
