Linux as an NT CLIENT

[Christopher Kings-Lynne]

Could somebody please tell me what the following directives mean in the
latest CVS source?
(I have a fair idea what they mean - but I would like to know exactly!)

       domain groups =
        domain admin group =
        domain guest group =
        domain admin users =
        domain guest users =

Thanks...

Chris
