samba3upgrade clarification on groups

[Charles Tryon]

I was doing some updates to the samba-tool samba3upgrade Wiki page, and I
just had a quick question for people who have been using this tool...

My Samba3 DC uses the older tdb backend rather than LDAP.  To the best of
my knowledge, the migration tool does NOT know how to convert the
/etc/group file when migrating to the new domain, so I've simply written a
couple line script which slurps up the group file and issues commands to
create the groups in the new Samba4 domain.

My question is: If you are using an LDAP back end, then does the tool
normally build the groups for you?  I know I've seen indications that there
are situations where the groups fail to build correctly, but that makes it
sound like it normally does work.  Since this is not behavior I've seen
myself, I just wanted to note this in the HOWTO.

Thanks!
