I assume you are then using nss-ldap on some systems and ldap to store user and group information. The default location for groups is OU=Group,cn=<name-of-group> The posixGroup entries have a gidNumber for the group, and multiple memberUID attributes with the names of the users in this group. Users are under OU=People,cn=<name-of-user> The posixAccount has the gidNumber for the user's default group. Note a user is considered to be in a group if either of the above is true. nss-ldap can also look at the local /etc/passwrd and /etc/group as well as ldap to determine the groups the user is in. Note a uesr is consifered to be in a group if either of the above is true.
