Summary:  Group instead of user

Original Submission:  My situation is the following:
I'm using LDAP as source for users and groups, according to
RFC2307 schemas for authentication.
I import an user with uidNumber=101, for example.
There's no group with gidNumber=101.
Everything works fine, for instance phpwebhosting tries to use /home/<uid>.
I create a new group into LDAP with gidNumber=101 and import
it. Now phpwebhosting tries to use /home/<gid> instead of
/home/<uid>.
Hacking the code of phpwebhosting I see that homedirectory
is stored into $GLOBALS['homedir'] or is retrieved from the
db via phpgw->session->appsession('vfs','').
Does this behaviour depend on LDAP management or on vfs_sql
implementation of VFS?
Thanks
Paolo

I pefer adding some more info to this bug instead of opening new one.

Also i (debian woody, 0.9.14.001 from tarball) am using phpgw and i've found 
some problem with LDAP account.

+ if i dump the LDAP database i can see some user that have no group (eg, they 
have no memberUid <user> filed in no group) but phpgw report correctly that 
they belong to some group. Seems that this information are saved eslsewere, and 
i think it is not the case...

+ phpgw do some confusion with user and group in general, list some groups in 
memberUid for some other groups and so on.

+ big confision about user and group are done by Company Profile.

+ every time i create a user, they assign to user UID=GID, not a default group.

In general i think that phpgw could (would) be used to manage LDAP ``system'' 
account, and this is now possible, but some minor problem have to be fixed.
