            Bug ID: 19072
           Summary: Support for Group Merging
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: nss
          Assignee: sgallagh at redhat dot com
          Reporter: sgallagh at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Full proposal is at https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Proposals/GroupMerging

Short version:
Many users would like to be able to use central LDAP systems like FreeIPA or
Active Directory and be able to supplement local groups (such as 'wheel' or
'adm') with entries maintained on those central systems. To do this, we need to
be able to merge group membership lists from one data source into others.
