I stumbled onto the following:

    $ ssh althea net localgroup
    System error 1312 has occurred.

    A specified logon session does not exist. It may ... terminated.

Given what we know about the limitations of switching user contexts
without a password, the above error is understandable.

What confuses me is the following:

    $ ssh althea net localgroup users
                                ^^^^^
    Alias name     users
    ...

Why does enumerating local groups need a logon session when getting the
information about a particular one doesn't?

Thanks,
Jason
