That guy is wrong.

There are several ways of doing it. In the posixGroup objectClass
the member attribute can take another group as a value. It can also
be done with the groupOfNames objectClass. And there's at least one
other (but more complicated) way of doing it that uses ACLs. So it's
not a problem on the OpenLDAP side. Whether all LDAP clients are
capable of handling groups-within-groups properly is another matter.
