I would also turn off nscd if it's running until you were sure things were working right.

If you issue: getent passwd do you see your NIS users too? If not then your nsswitch.conf and/or nscd may need to be reconfigured. once getent is working, pam should not have any issues, although you might need to tweak the pam stack to handle if the NIS server is unavailable.

They are connecting to an HP-UX Unix master server. I have followed the instructions and can do a YPWHICH, but the HP-UX system does not allow me to authenticate because we (by default) use PAM. Can someone point me to a source of info to either turn off PAM on these systems or configure PAM to allow HP-UX connection? I appreciate any help.
