Great, thanks, I got it working. Currently, our linux users all are member of a posix group of the same name (i.e user "kenneth" is member of its own group "kenneth", which is the default in linux as far as I know). Do you know how I can create such groups on AD, instead of adding users to shared groups such as "unixusers"?
