Er, NIS is only supposed to share passwords (and other config stuff too). TO share filesystems, you're wanting into NFS.
See rpc.nfsd, exports, mount, nfs manpages.
In short:
Add this line to your server's export:
/home *.<your domain> (rw)
Then reboot, or do /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs start
Add this line to your client's fstab:
<server's name>:/home /home nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,bg,intr
Then do mount -a.
You must have NFS in your client's kernel (or as a module).
But *first* read the manpages. NFS can be a security problem is badly configured !
