[HPADM] SUDO and NIS problem

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has had problems regarding SUDO's interaction
with NIS.

I have the following specific problem.

Server A is a NIS server. (hpux 10.20)

Server B is a NIS client. (hpux 11.00)

I can login to either server and use sudo to gain access to root.

I need to move my NIS server from Server A to server B.

I have set up server B as a NIS server using a new domain - testdom.
Server B is bound to itself and the test_dom domain.

I have changed my NIS password on server B. (8 characters)

I can login to Server B using the new password. However when I use sudo to
 gain access to root it will only accept my old password.
I have set up a NIS client bound to server B and I get the same symptoms
when logging in to the client.

I have tried using a basic sudoers file with no success.
There is no local override for my account.
I assume sudo has the old password cached somewhere.
Has anyone come across this problem before?

regards,
Julian
