Based on the responses I decided to look into the various installed shells.
My login uses /bin/csh. Root and his root buddies use /bin/bash. People
having trouble logging in to this server are using /bin/ksh. I can login,
but root and his root buddies cannot, nor can those using /bin/ksh.
After I login I decided to do a little shell game:
{jw121...@sdmsue810:113} bash
{jw121...@sdmsue810:114} echo $SHELL
/bin/csh
{jw121...@sdmsue810:115} ksh
{jw121...@sdmsue810:116} echo $SHELL
/bin/csh
{jw121...@sdmsue810:117} tcsh
{jw121...@sdmsue810:101} echo $SHELL
/bin/csh
{jw121...@sdmsue810:102} exit
exit
{jw121...@sdmsue810:118}
It appears that I have some bad shells and obviously in order to fix this, I
have to have root access. Since root cannot login using the default shell of
/bin/bash, is there some way to login with another shell?

How is this system finding the NIS server, by broadcast? If so, fix that.
Is automounter configured and/or are their home directories available? Do
any of these users have a non-standard shell that may not be installed on
that server (eg, /bin/ksh)?
Does ypcat work from the NIS server when they have problems?
