hello, First: sorry for my bad english. Your user must have a 'gidnumber' entry (from 'posixaccount' objectclass), this is the user's gid. Not require to write this username in the memberuid entry. If the group not the primary group of the user, require to write in the memberuid entry the username. ok, i know this is not too understandable. example: uid=500(fontenwp) gid=500(linuxusers) groups=750(linuxadmins),500(linuxusers) entrys: (only the important things) user: dn: cn=fontenwp, ou=People, dc=fontenotshome,dc=org objectclass: posixAccount gidNumber: 500 groups: dn: cn=LinuxUsers,ou=Groups, dc=fontenotshome,dc=org objectClass: posixgroup gidNumber: 500 memberUid: fontenwp <-- these not required dn: cn=LinuxAdmins,ou=Groups, dc=fontenotshome,dc=org objectClass: posixgroup gidNumber: 750 memberUid: fontenwp <-- this required and offcourse configure correct nsswitch & pam. the default group ou in the nsswitch-ldap conf is the: ou=Group but, as i can see, You use the ou=Group_s_. check this. I hope this help you.
