My old NIS server we used shadow passwords.
When I migrated my passwd nis file to IPA I'm assuming it also imported the 
part of the file that contains  the "x" to point it towards a shadow file.

Would I need to remove the "x" from the nis passwd file and re-migrate it to 
IPA?
Is there a better way to get around this?

What does your nsswitch.conf look like?

Note that IPA does not provide the shadow map (because it sends hashes in the 
clear).
