Have you read the comment on MD5 enabled passwords at
installation time? There's an explicit mention of breaking
compatibility against "older" (i.e. non MD5 capable) UNIX
variants, IIRC.

Check your /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow on the Linux boxes to make
sure you use plain DES passwords if you're stuck with NIS. This
is some kind of FAQ, try and read the available doc.
