I'm sure this has come up before, but I'm seeing trouble with uid's
larger than 65000(roughly) when a user with that uid runs an application
and it runs as root. Also, when they try to change a password, it tries
to change it for root. I am using NIS (not plus), so am curious if this
is a flaw with the OS or the NIS, or is there a patch available for it.
