Nested groups support?

Hi, all,

Is anyone working on nested groups support for Samba as a member of a W2K
domain? This is currently the only thing blocking the roll-out of Samba
servers in our organisation.

My first impression is that winbind could replace the groups in a group
with the members of this group. So, if User1 is in Group1, and Group1 is a
member of Group2, winbind places User1 as a member of both Group1 and
Group2. This does not conflict with the Unix user/group architecture.
