It seems that shadow passwords are causing the problems. I just copied
the encrypted passwords from /etc/shadow to /etc/passwd on the NIS
server. This solved the login problems.
Running "ltrace getent shadow user" shows that getspnam returns NULL
for remote NIS users, whereas for local users it returns the correct
shadow entry.
Groetjes,
