SunOS4.1.3 bug with uid >65000

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Art Fowler Northrop Grumman Network Analyst, Webmaster 972-266-0689(2123 Fax) art_fowler () mail northgrum com (email) http://www.dhc.net/~afowler (homepage) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
