That's an easy enough problem to fix.  He could install BSD on it and
all his problems would be solved.  BTW, you don't want to use linux for
an NIS server *anywhere* if you can help it.  YP really sucks under
linux.

Or, as was alluded to earlier in this thread:

# ln -s /etc/passwd /path/to/nfs/root/etc/passwd
# ln -s /etc/master.passwd /path/to/nfs/root/etc/master.passwd
# ln -s /etc/pwd.db /path/to/nfs/root/etc/pwd.db
# ln -s /etc/spwd.db /path/to/nfs/root/spwd.db
# ln -s /etc/group /path/to/nfs/root/group

That should fix the problem up well enough.
