The gid number (fourth column) that appears with the users account entry in
/etc/passwd or RFC2307 gidnumber attribute in LDAP is the PRIMARY group.

Comma delimited users may be listed in the last field of /etc/group or as
memberuid(s) in LDAP to specify AUXILLARY groups of which they are members.

The distinction between primary and auxillary groups is UNIX-ism and doesn't
exist under WinNT or WinY2K.  Samba only makes the distinction for the %G macro,
it treats group memberships as equal in all other cases "allow users =
@groupname", etc....
