The more familiar I get with NetBSD, the more things I discover that I didn't know. I had no idea there was an /etc/passwd.conf.
I suspect 'ypcipher = old' is not what Linux is expecting. I'm not sure what to change it to. I'll probably start by trying 'sha1' and seeing what happens.
That is not the answer. At least, 'ypcipher = sha1' doesn't net success.
Where you find your 'passwd.conf' ? I have not this file on my NIS server ...
A NIS server use a Makefile, could you copy/send it, if nothing is confidential ?
You know that with this method, the support is not easy, so if something goes wrong between NetBSD and Linux, maybe it's a silly problem. I haven't check the links, but it could be an idea in your situation. So I propose to check the fundamentals things :
