netgroup problem on AIX 4.3 and 5.1

Hi,

Has anyone here already used netgroups on AIX 4.3 and/or 5.1 clients via
nss_ldap ?

I compiled nss_ldap on AIX 4.3 5.1 and 5.3, and only AIX 5.3 sends
requests related to netgroups (via ng_test() function).

On these 3 AIX flavours the ng_pvtinit() function is called, but
on AIX 4.3 and 5.1, nothing else happens concerning netgroups.

I precise that other LDAP requests perform well, I can resolve users,
groups, and can authenticate LDAP users via nss_ldap. Everything works
but netgroups.

Concerning the conf files:
  - nss_ldap netgroup resolution is defined in /etc/irs.conf
  - netgroup option is set in /lib/security/methods.cfg for NSS_LDAP
  - netgroups to check are declared in /etc/passwd (+@netgroup)
  - default user has SYSTEM and registry attributes set to compat

Did I miss configuration tricks needed on AIX 4.3 and 5.1  ?

Best regards.
