There's two similar groups in ubuntu: admin and adm, I found that /var/log/apache2 is in the adm group, and default sudoers includes admin group, what's difference between the two?

The adm group is only good for viewing all the log files in /var/log (which historically used to be called /var/adm). It has no relation to sudo or root.
