getting local groups/aliases via rpc?

[Ben Johnson]

I am using the 2.2.2 sources for my experimentation so far and it looks
like get_samr_query_usergroups is not implemented there.  I'm hoping for
excellent stability when I'm done so I've steered clear so far, but I'll
start looking into CVS.  Thanks a lot for your help.
