/etc/passwd - name not found?

Hi all -

I've got a rather frustrating problem with a small handful of my
Apollo DN3500's running Domain 10.3+. Seems that any file open
calls to the /etc/passwd file return 'name not found' errors even
though the file exists and has read permissions to the world.
Comparing a node that works with one that doesn't reveals no
differences in permissions or files in the /etc and /sys/mgrs
directories. What should I be looking for?

P.S.  My co-worker just told me that after telnet to the offending
      machine, /etc/passwd can be found and read! After that there
      seems to be no problem.

Any wisdom from the net would be greatly appreciated.

Steve
