Is anyone else out there running yellow pages under A/UX 2.0?  I have
noticed that upon reboot of either of our MacII file servers running
yellow pages, the uid and gid of all password file entries starting with
the + have been changed to 0:0, which is an extreme security violation.
We have set up scripts to fix this when rebooting, but this shouldn't
happen.  Both of these machines are yellow pages slave servers.  The
master server is a DECstation 5000 running Ultrix 4.0.
