AFAIK, nss_ldap should support nested groups, if using rfc2307bis. However, 
AFAIK, samba doesn't support rfc2307bis.

Yes, instead of supporting rfc2307bis, and having a real "Windows-

provide nested groups for Unix from a base that Unix could have used if it 
supported newer methods of defining users.
