Does 'ypcat passwd' work?  If not, ypbind or portmapper could be stuck
or something, try restarting them:  (If you restart portmapper you also
need to restart everything that uses portmapper, like NFS.)

    /etc/init.d/nis stop
    killall ypbind (sometimes they refuse to die)
    /etc/init.d/portmap restart
    /etc/init.d/nis start


HTH.
