OpenAFS adds support for PAGs - Process Authentication Groups.

In essence, if you do not create a PAG and you kinit/aklog, the 
tickets will be valid for any process running under your account ID.

But if you do have a PAG, then tickets/tokens will work only for
processes that are also members of the PAG group. (Usually the
sub-processes of your top level shell).

SSH automatically creates the PAG when you log in, and that PAG is 
visible as one or two Group IDs which don't have any name (since they're not
real groups)... you can see that if you type 'id'.

The 'groups' command obviously wants to find the name of those groups,
which don't exist in the real sense of the word, and gives those
errors.

Adam Megacz already did some patches to nss-ptdb, it would be super
cool if maybe he could write a patch for this too.. 
Say, Group ID 1107251940 (some random pag), could translate to group
name PAG_1107251940 .
