/etc/auto.master
/etc/auto.home

the auto.home should have something like

*  x.x.x.x:/path/to/home/& (x.x.x.x is the NIS master)

that should cover all of your clients.  Also, can always re-run the  
ypinit on the Solaris box (ypinit -c).  also, on the solaris box, you  
have to copy the /etc/nsswitch.nis file to /etc/nsswitch.conf, or do  
it manually so that it searches NIS before files for certain items.

Also, make sure that one the NIS file you're exporting for password,  
the path is correct in there...for example:

if the NIS passwd file has /export/home/user, that's what it's going  
to look for.  What i've done in the past is to create a separate  
directory for the NIS master to place alternate password and shadow  
files, so that way i can manipulate the directories each user has.

probably bout as clear as mud...but hope it helps anyway
