Yeah okay, they are local groups not network groups.

I can add (eg) the Domain Users group to the local Users group, and assign
my ACLs and whatnot to the latter, correct?

I just want to make sure that these aren't handled special by Samba. They
used to be reserved group names and I want to make sure they are
real/normal groups now (apart from the scope issue above).
