Caching of passwd entries

On one of our clusters (a two node ES45 cluster) there was a local / 
etc/passwd entry masking a NIS passwd map entry with the same name.   
I deleted the local entry, but the system still seems to be  
'remembering' the now-departed entry.  Is there some sort of local  
caching going?  And if so, how can I flush the cache and tell Tru64  
(5.1B) to return the NIS entry, which is now the only one?
