Will do, In the interim, and I know there will be howls against doing it, but I simply edited /etc/passwd and /etc/group and set the gid to what I needed. Worked fine. /etc/shadow doesn't appear to hold any group information so I think I found all the needed files. Right now it is just a one user system and subsequent to the gid change, I added the group that needed the gid with groupadd and it worked like a champ.
