I am assuming you have told the /etc/nsswitch to look at NIS. Also did you
add the "+::::::" entry in your /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow?
If you have just one user you want to get pull the passwd and info for
(such as teste) then you would only have the entry:
+teste::::::
in the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files. All other info will be pulled
from the NIS server.
Good luck,

PS- If you have not upgraded to HAMM yet, you might have a problem with
shadow passwords.
