group = rpc?

Sorry if this is repetitive but for the life of me I can't seem to get 
our Red Hat Linux boxes to properly act as NIS clients. The most recent 
problem is my files show up with group ownership as rpc. prior to this 
the automounting was flaky so we copied the auto_ files from the NIS 
server, which is a Sun box running Solaris 2.7 and the auto_mounting 
works now. The strange thing about this rpc group thing is when I type 
ypcat group it does show my group which is grp32. The Red Hat systems 
are running 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 but all have this problem. Is there a 
web-site that tells how to set up Red Hat Linux boxes as NIS clients to 
a Sun NIS server?
