	Solved the problem: first this is in Linux, not in Solaris (which does 
not seem to care about the gid of each group entry in its group map). 
That said, on the beginning of /var/yp/Makefile something called MINGID, 
the lowest gid that will be included in the group maps.  All I had to do 
was to change it from

MINGID=500

to

MINGID=190 


and all was well.  Thanks for all the help!
