The problem I reported with UID's and YP was a similar thing. This is
not fixed in OpenBSD-current BTW, and was caused by the getpwent
routines in libc cacheing which YP map to get, master.passwd... if
euid root else plain old passwd...
There may be a similar OS / library cacheing issue, as exim does some
great gymnstics with UID/EUID switching :)
