In my case, I bent the rules a little bit and added the posixgroup objectclass to my users to account for the user group. That may come back to bite me. I might also add there is a small problem in the KDE environment where Konqueror does not query LDAP for groups. One of the developers was kind enough to write a patch for me so KDE 3.5 behaved properly and the patch is being included in the next update for KDE 4.x I believe. Take care - John -- John A.
