If you want to add a user to a UNIX group then yes you do that on the
local machine, but your original e-mail suggested you wanted to add UNIX
users to AD groups.

You *may* be able to list YOURDOMAIN\bobby in /etc/group, or you may
have to use Samba's username map to map YOURDOMAIN\bobby to a local
user, then add the local user to the local group.

If it's a UNIX group then it should all be done on the local machine in
the normal manner.  The trick is getting AD objects appearing as local ones.
