configuring nis

Hi, I have been having some trouble with getting NIS working on my freebsd server. Mainly because I have never before used this. I now have it working, but there is an odd inconsistency which I don't know how to remove/update. I changed the gid of a user with: 'pw usermod -n sam -g 1000',
