Just discovered the ldap.conf/nss_ldap setting "nss_schema
rfc2307bis", which seems to say it should resolve nested groups
on the client side.

Some testing:

 1 - Running "nscd" without "nss_schema rfc2307bis":

	"groups username" -- not listing nested group
	"getent group nestedgroup" -- not un-nesting.

 2 - Not running "nscd", and without "nss_schema rfc2307bis":

	"groups username" -- listing nested groups !
	"getent group nestedgroup" -- not un-nesting

 3 - Not running "nscd", with "nss_schema rfc2307bis":

	"groups username" -- listing nested groups !
	"getent group nestedgroup" -- not un-nesting
	
 4 - Running "nscd", with "nss_schema rfc2307bis":

	"groups username" -- not listing nested group
	"getent group nestedgroup" -- not un-nesting.

So "nss_schema rfc2307bis" doesn't seem to have any effect,
only "nscd" on/off seems to affect the un-nesting..
	
Does anybody know what else I can do to get nested groups
functioning on RHEL4/RHEL4/RHEL5 ? Or is there some way of
getting the directory server to do the un-nesting for me ?
