Yes - on a PDC. They are local accounts on a member server.

On an NT member server all defined groups are local - and
they can contain domain groups within them.
On a Samba member server this is not the case, as groups
cannot contain groups within UNIX.
I see what JF is trying to do - use a list to make an
artificial distinction between the groups we report back
as being local and those we report back as being domain,
as under UNIX they're all local.
Hmmmmm.
