Hi Waldo,

I have upgraded to KDE 3.3.2 and it appears to have fixed the problem.  
I can add and my remove LDAP users from the external LDAP group and the 
locked down Kiosk tool profile also is enabled and disabled as 
expected.  The kiosktool-kdedirs --check now gives the right result  I 
will be upgrading a couple more machines to KDE 3.3.2 and I expect it 
will fix the problem on them too.  Thanks to you and Martijn for your 
help on this one.  It was an interesting bug - any explanation why the 
problem only happened with LDAP groups and not local ones?

Thanks

Murray
