This same problem showed up for Jessie. It had been a problem with nscd (name service cache daemon) back then which should have gone away for Stretch. Anyway, please run 'nscd -i netgroup' on the main server to invalidate the related cache and see if it helps. As a last resort you could disable netgroup caching completely running 'debian-edu-nscd-netgroup-cache disable' on the main server. (This workaround for Jessie should not be needed for Stretch; netgroup caching can be enabled again running 'debian-edu-nscd-netgroup-cache enable'.) ---- You could also try Debian Edu Buster. It would allow you to set up a system tailored for a primary school (install the meta-package 'education-primaryschool' after a basic install). For details see: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Buster and https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/Installation#Modular_installation Wolfgang
