I just upgraded one of my machines to 4.10-STABLE from 4.9-STABLE and
certain binaries (such as vim or vipw) when run as root (either with
sudo or su -) freeze up with "rcmdsh: unknown user:" followed by a bunch
of garbage.

I seem to remember encountering this problem once or twice before and
IIRC, it was related to NIS, but it's been quite a while and I'm not
sure how accurate that is.

Any thoughts on what could be causing this?
