Hi,

> However, group nesting is not a feature that can be used with posixGroup objectClass based LDAP objects (as the objectClass / schema does not support group nesting). I really have a huge question mark about what upstream's intention for this feature was/is...

It is not a feature, but definitely possible using dynlist (we did this at Teckids before abandonning LDAP):

Maybe GOSa expects something like that to be in place?
