Possibly related is what I saw a while back, there was a local user 
and a NIS+ user with different uid etc. nsswitch.conf had 
passwd: files nisplus yet it used the nis+ user until nscd was 
stopped. clearing up the nscd caches ( rm -f /var/db/nscd/* )  made it
work again even with nscd running.

Didn't get around to filing a bug, especially since the nis+ is "somewhat"
custom, but nscd invalidating its caches on startup (either rm or nscd -i)
might be a good idea nevertheless? Apart from that there still might 
be something funny in nscd that makes it lose information in the cache?
