You don't manage OS-specific (or "distro"-specific if you prefer that term)
group IDs in a network database. Those are managed on a per-system basis
in the local /etc/group or analogous file(s).
Your network database should contain only your organization's local user
and group identities. That's why the default NIS Makefile has MINUID
and MINGID settings.
