you can log into the linux box locally okay?  if so,
then the NIS+ client is working okay - so you probably
just have to change some of the other setting files
in /etc/pam.d  - so that they call system-auth and no 
other - and system-auth is correct.

eg system-auth looks like:

#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_unix2.so set_secrpc
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account    required     /lib/security/pam_unix2.so
password   required     /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so
password   required     /lib/security/pam_unix2.so
session    required     /lib/security/pam_unix2.so
#session    optional    /lib/security/pam_console.so

and sshd looks like:

#%PAM-1.0
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_unix2.so set_secrpc
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account    required     /lib/security/pam_unix2.so
password   required     /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so
password   required     /lib/security/pam_unix2.so
session    required     /lib/security/pam_unix2.so
#session    optional    /lib/security/pam_console.so


and login looks like:

auth       required     /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth       required     /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account    required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password   required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session    required     /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session    optional     /lib/security/pam_console.so


make VERY certain you dont call the usual  unix pam client. only use unix2
