Unless your NIS master has been configured to use a separate /etc/passwd file for NIS users, it's usually as simple as adding the user to your NIS master using the normal method (useradd or vi).
Wait a while for the user to appear in NIS, or else cd /var/yp ; make if you're in a hurry. Annihilannic.
To find out where the passwd file is for the NIS master (It may not be the default /etc/passwd) simply look at the make file /var/yp/Makefile it will state where it is! Tóg a bóg é!
