Default smc group woes

Hi

I have been trying to add a group via the smc.

I add the group foogrp and then create a user foo who's primary group
is foogrp.

If I then go back to groups and select the properties of foogrp the
first time I see foogrp's membership (user foo).

If I cancel out of the properties window and the view properties again
foogrp does not show any members and I get a message about possible
corrupted file, NIS+ or LDAP.

Viewing the properties of foo show that foo's primary group is now
shown as 10 (staff) although the passwd file is still showing foogrp
as foo's primary group (well foogrp's GID of 222)

I have tried this on both NIS+ groups and local file groups. The
group seems to be added to the file or NIS+ table all right but smc
is just going nuts. If I exit out of smc, the first time in I
(sometimes) can see the proper group-age but only the first time.

I have never had this issue with admintool or Adminsuite.

I have been trying this on Solaris 10 GA x86 and SPARC and it is
driving me to sobriety.
