NIS master and C2 problem

Hello managers

I have a C2 security problem. The NIS users passwords DB was corrupted on my
NIS domain master server and since then, even after all the password DBs
were cleaned up, I receive a strange message when trying to edit a user's
profile (i.e. edauth <nis username>).

The message says that I must be on the NIS domain master server to edit the
user's profile.

I reconfigured the NIS, the security level back to BASE and then back to
ENHANCED, recreated the auth.db files but nothing helps.
Does anybody know how the C2 mechanism reads the systems NIS configuration
and decides if the system is a master server or not?

The system is running Digital Unix 4.0D with PK#3

Thanks
