Yes, I mean a remote user in a local group. I have found another strange 
behaviour: "groups" doesn't shows local groups but "groups remoteuser" 
shows them:
> DOMINIOCSA\psala at psala-lx2:~$ whoami
> DOMINIOCSA\psala
> DOMINIOCSA\psala at psala-lx2:~$ groups
> DOMINIOCSA\paolo sala DOMINIOCSA\domain users DOMINIOCSA\gruppo per

> powerdev vboxusers DOMINIOCSA\domain users DOMINIOCSA\gruppo per 
> gestione faxweb DOMINIOCSA\utenti DOMINIOCSA\gruppo per gestione 
> nethaudit DOMINIOCSA\rete_amm
Is it normal? Furthermore, sometimes happens, when I open a console, "I 
have no name!@psala-lx2:~$" instead of "DOMINIOCSA\psala at psala-lx2:~$": 
is it normal? can be tied with the problem above?

Of course:
