This is incorrect.
This is my smb.conf (Its PDC) :

 [global]
   netbios name = LINJKT
   workgroup = DJKT
   server string = %L on Samba Server %v

   passdb backend = smbpasswd, guest

   os level = 64
   preferred master = yes
   domain master = yes
   local master = yes

   security = user
   encrypt passwords = yes

   domain logons = yes
   ....
   
This is output of net groupmap list:

System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1
Domain Users (S-1-5-21-682855339-941891451-1873685625-513) -> -1
Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1
Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> -1
Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-682855339-941891451-1873685625-514) -> -1
Power Users (S-1-5-32-547) -> -1
Print Operators (S-1-5-32-550) -> -1
Administrators (S-1-5-32-544) -> -1
Account Operators (S-1-5-32-548) -> -1
Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-682855339-941891451-1873685625-512) -> -1
Backup Operators (S-1-5-32-551) -> -1
Users (S-1-5-32-545) -> -1

Even in NT 4.0 PDC, there's still local group by default.
The nice thing is in NT User manager for domain, it diferrentiate the
local and global group by icon.
Samba should also has this feature (if possible :))
