st_ino is the file system stat inode number. This is, kind of, the 
position in the file system where the file's meta data like 
permissions, name, and so on are stored.

If that changed, it usually indicates the file has been replaced - 
might have happened during a system update, for example.

Usually, you would use something like 'rpm -Vf 
/var/spool/postfix/lib/libnss_nis.so.2' to see if the file is in the 
state the package it belongs to deployed it.
