The groupname map is needed in order to support domain 
groups which are normally defined by the NT PDC 
administrator.

The local mapping is needed to that a samba box working 
in security=domain mode can have local groups which
are not affected by nor defined in the domain.

change?

In order to support trust relationships?  Would you map groups 
in the same way?

BTW...I would agree with Jeremy.  Could we call these soemthing 
like

	domain group map
	local group map

?
