Marcos, mkgroup and mkpasswd automatically add 10000 to the ids of the domain groups and users (though there's an option to change that -- "-o", I think). Also, IIRC, you can simply edit the GID number (the next-to-last column) in the groups file to put whatever number you need there (read the security section in the User's Guide). Try it and see -- don't forget to back up the file.
