no shell?

All of a sudden I can't log into any of my servers.  I'm getting
permission denied.  If I log in as root and try "su - rharris" I get
this:

[90]root at app6-/> su - rharris
su: No shell


If I cat passwd I can see my entry(passwd entry scrambled):

rharris:Vx35txd3waMZV:1093:180:Robert Harris:/home/rharris:/usr/local/bin/bash:11452:-1:-1:-1:-1::0:11452:-1:-1:-1:-1::0


/usr/local/bin/bash is:

-rwxr-xr-x   1 bin      bin      3113220 Sep 25  1999 /usr/local/bin/bash


/etc/shells on the server has a line saying /usr/local/bin/bash.

No-one admits to changing anything, but on all my NIS+ servers, no-one
can log in if they have a NIS+ passwd.

Thoughts?
