"Authenticated Users" is not a local group, nor a builtin group. It's one of the so called "well known SIDs", see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa379649.aspx These well-known SIDs are not enumerated in calls to NetGroupEnum nor in calls to NetLocalGroupEnum. That's why they are missing in /etc/group in the first place. And usually you don't need them in /etc/group.
