Yes, I am running zephyrd as root.  See below:

root@b4pph12d-> ps -ef | grep zephyrd
    root  1084  1080  1 12:42:38 ttys4    0:00 grep zephyrd
    root   799     1  0 11:09:37 ?        0:00 /usr/local/sbin/zephyrd -d

root@b4pph12d-> ypcat services | grep -i zephyr

zephyr-hm       2104/udp     # Gantt Edmiston - Zephyr hostmanager
zephyr-srv      2102/udp            # M. Brook Zephyr server
zephyr-clt      2103/udp     # Gantt Edmiston - Zephyr server-hostmanager
zephyr-hm-srv   2105/udp     # Gantt Edmiston - Zephyr hm-serv

Note the extra port assignment above.  We assumed that it would not
matter if it existed.  We are a large corporation and our services
maps are distributed via NIS.  We all (unfortunately) have to use
the same maps and compete for the same services and resources.

If this extra services entry in anyway might be causing our problem,
please advise.  Thanks,

PS: Here's some output from the dump of one zephyrd:
