Somehow you have enabled NIS (network information service, AKA Yellow Pages,
hence the 'yp' above). NIS is used to make many machines in a network share
user accounts and configurations. It is controlled by /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Could you please post a copy of your /etc/nsswitch.conf?
Here's what a normal nsswitch.conf looks like (with no NIS):
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.
