This aspect of the LDAP authentication makes use of what is known as 'special groups'. Membership of special group is transitory, only for the period of their login. THis means that members of the group are not 'added' to the group as such, but just become members for the duration of the time that they are logged in. During this time they inherit the attributes of that group, but are not added to it. What behaviour are you seeing? Is it that they are not added to that group when you list the group membership (this is normal), or is it that they don't seem to get the attributes they should, as members of that special group?
