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.
