Ah.  That's the difference.  I had wanted to assign members of say 
"AD\teachers to the "teachers" group, and "AD\students" to a students 
group so that students cannot read teachers files, but teachers can read 
students, etc...  It's not about the admin group for sudoers, there's 
other groups that I was intending to use for my kid's school 
infrastructure.  But I have a feeling that this is "Enterprise" 
functionality, not "Open".

Thanks again for your help.  I think the pam group trick will work for 
what I need as I can assign domain groups to local groups that way 
instead of having to list every domain user in /etc/group.

Regards,
Mark
