Your operating systems libc needs to support and use this function  
when it does nss calls. I don't know where it originates from, but I  
know it is supported in GNU libc.

I guess other systems are supported through other mechanisms, such as  
getgroupsbymemer (Solaris) and getgrset.

NetBSD has grown a getgroupmembership call with a compatible calling  
sequence, and can either be supported directly in nss_ldap, or made  
to work through a compability layer.

I'm using FreeBSD, so I am hoping that it will be added there too  
soon :-)
