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.

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