Thanks - John > The most likely reason is that how your system expects the groups to be set up (i.e, a list of usernames vs. a list of DNs, the objectClass to consider a Unix a group, etc.) does not match what your data actually looks like. Without any data about how you've got things configured on the client and in the LDAp database, though, it's pretty hard to say where that disconnect might be.
