When sharing the same NIS with a Sun and an RS/6000, I decided
to start "shared" group numbers at 200, thereby avoiding any clashes
between the sun names and the rs/6000 names.  I created a
staff group at 200, and renamed the old staff group on the
rs/6000 to sys-staff.  At the end of the day, it probably
didn't buy me anything.
