I tried adding an ldap group to a local group and it did not work properly (it was as if members of the ldap group were not members of the local group).  Then I tried adding a local group to another local group and that also did not work (similar results as above).  Is there something special I need to do in order to allow a group to be a member of another group and have the "child group" inherit the permissions of the "parent group"?
