Does "id nisuser" work? If not, verify that you either:
A) have the following in /etc/nswitch.conf:
passwd: compat
group: compat
and have the following somewhere in /etc/passwd:
+::0:0:::
or B) have the following in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
passwd: files nis
group: files nis
If "id nisuser" works, verify that the Linux client can access the
homedir and shell listed in the passwd entry for the user you're
testing. I've got 13 Linux clients (RH 6.2->7.3 and two Debian)
talking to 2 FreeBSD NIS servers with both of the above methods.
