I am not sure. Experiment with it and read the documentation. It is
probably now time to reveal a terrible secret - I've never set up an
NFS/NIS server in my life! ;-)

In which case, you have to make sure that the id of every user listed in
the NIS passwd is unique. I.e. if rajeev is id 1984 on the NIS server,
there should not be a user with the same id on the client. I suspect
that there is a user sind who has the same id as rajeev on NIS. One way
to ensure this is to start giving out user IDs that are high on the
server. Or implement some kind of policy.

I think the user id problem mentioned above is the reason.
