Thanks to all for the replies.
The winner of this contest is Spider Boardman who gave me the simple solution.
On the NIS client machine, in the svc.conf file, there needs to be a line
added that reads: auth=local,yp
Makes perfect sense; I have not seen it listed anywhere in the Digital
documentation.
thanks again to all and especially to Spider.
