Domain users have a 'primary group'. Actually, contrary to what I said in 
the previous post I'm not sure that files have the concept. It may just be 
users and the actual group permissions then get stored on the file. If so 
and if you assigned any other groups permission on the file you may not be 
able to distinguish which is the original group for the file and which was 
added later.
