Getent now works and I see the NIS users, but I still cannot authenticate to NIS on HPUX. My Linux system is listed in the ypservers list. I can ypcat everything. The userid is in the NIS list and not in the local passwd file. Linux is SuSE SLES 8 and HPUX is 11i. Both systems are behind our firewall. On the brksvl07 Linux server I get the messages:

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.
