As far as I know (and as far as the documentation knows also), the UID for
nobody (for NFS) should be (-2) or 65534, but under A/UX (1.1 AND 2.0), it's
set up as 60001... why is this. I recall trying to reset it to 65534 under
1.1, but it would "reset itself" after some period of time back to 60001.
Any comments?

In any case, it's when you do a passwd that it goes back to 60001. You're right that it should be 65534.
