samba - Apr 2002 - Samba 2.3.3a and user/server Manager unix groups visible?

Hello.

If i run user manager on a machine that is a member of my domain
i can list all groups and the unix system root account.
Im not able to change groups of a user.

Is this by design?
I feels alittle bit strange that it is possible to view unix grouups and 
users on the WinNT domain?
Can i somehow hide groups so the only relevant groups for the domain is 
shown in user manager?
Something equal to a user.map function? there i can both map a backend 
unix group to frontend user manager , and filter so groups that are not 
relevant to samba and NT domain administraton are not shown in the user  
manager..

See "hide local groups" IIRC.

Yes! that helped me out! :-)
Im not shure but the "hide local groups" option seems not to be
in the manual :-(
Can someone notify the guys that write the manual to check this?
Since im not shure how to contact them directly.
