Login restrictions in NIS environment

Hello,
OK, this problem is not caused by my mail client, or my client machine. Our
test machine is actually refusing logins via IMAP after some time.
It has been working perfectly for about 2 hours, but just now it has stopped
accepting logins via IMAP from the "monitoring" user account again.
Has anyone seen this bug before? Do you know if a later version of something
fixes the problem?
Thanks again,
Hobbs.
