[Samba] understanding users mapping

[fdelval at rojatex.com]

Hello Christian

Ok, i will start by your favourite way because i want to use the feature
of mapping groups.

Now i mapped my linux group to a windows "domain admins" and, in users and
groups management console in windows, i can see my group "magically"
there.

Now im mapping more groups, but i cant manage to group any group except
"domain admins"

What's happening?
