You can always configure pam_group locally if you need to, but this is something we cannot configure by default. And, why is it so difficult to manage /etc/groups in LDAP as well, if you already have all the other information in LDAP? Having a centralized group membership LDAP db in your case seems by far the most robust and flexible solution to me. -- Simpler integration for "local device" permissions https://launchpad.net/bugs/10225 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
