As far as I remember I had the similar error on some 10.20 boxes, which
had the following NIS entry in the password file:
+::-2:60001:::

When I replaced this with the following things started to work
+:*:0:0:::

BTW: these machines were installed via an ignite server, which was setup
by our former sysadmin, so I have no idea whether this is the default
HP-UX passwd entry for NIS clients.
