After hacking around with NIS on one of our (thank god) development servers, I've managed to somehow expunge root's name from something important. When I, su'd to root, create a file, it now has the ownership of 0 and group wheel. I've looked in /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd and the entries look fine, and I've tuned NIS back off, rebooted and taken all of the alterations I made to the passwd and group files back out, but I still have a root with an "name" of 0. This isn't a disaster because it is a development machine, but I need to know how I did what I did and how to undo it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
