/etc/group not being read

[James D Below]

here are the exact command/files:

Admins),513(Domain Users),1077(ncp),1023(ncppc),1005(NCPSERVE),1006(nice)

With or without the "-u" had no affect.  I don't have telnet access 
configured on this box.

Before sending this to you I tried to change it from 1077 to 513 but id 
still shows it as "512"

I have no idea what is going on now. I wonder if there is a registry 
setting that is holding onto the gid.
