Have you also copied the group information from "/etc/group" and its respective shadows?
Further, is there anything in "/etc/passwd" which was on the old machine but not on the new? Things like: home directory (with proper permissions), alternate login shells (i.e. ksh instead of bash), etc. ?
I hope this helps.

NAME
yppasswdd: rpc.yppasswdd - daemon for modifying Network Information Service passwd database
SYNOPSIS
passwd_file log_file] [arg1 arg2 ...]]
directory] log_file] [arg1 arg2 ...]]
Remarks
The Network Information Service (NIS) was formerly known as Yellow Pages (yp). Although the name has changed, the functionality of the
service remains the same.
DESCRIPTION
The daemon handles password change requests from (see yppasswd(1)). It changes a password entry in the passwd and shadow files. The
passwd and shadow files provide the basis for the passwd.byname and passwd.byuid maps. Entries in the passwd or shadow files are changed
only if the password presented by matches the encrypted password of the entry. All password files are located in the directory.
If the option is given, the passwd or shadow files are placed under the directory path that is the argument to
should be executed only on the master Network Information Service (NIS) server for the passwd database (map). The daemon is not executed
by default, nor can it be started by (see inetd(1M)). To enable automatic startup of at boot time, the variable should be set to 1 in file
on the master NIS server.
The daemon in HP-UX 11i version 3 supports the shadow mode. The system can be converted to shadow mode by using and reverted by using The
variable must be set to 1 in file on the master NIS server to support the shadow mode in NIS.
The server does not insist on the presence of a shadow file unless there is no option present or the directory named with the option is
Options
recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:
Log diagnostic and error messages to
log_file. These messages are not available if is started without the option.
Information logged to the file includes date and time of the message, the host name, process ID and name of the
function generating the message, and the message itself. Note that different services can share a single log
file because enough information is included to uniquely identify each message.
If these are given, then these fields may not be
changed remotely using is HP specific.
After the password or shadow file is modified, and if using the option, executes to update the NIS passwd database
(see ypmake(1M)). Any arguments following the flag are passed to
To ensure that the passwd map is rebuilt to contain the new password and all slave NIS servers have their passwd
maps properly updated to include the change, always use the option to but do not use the argument to
The directory input specifies which directory contains the passwd file (and the
shadow file when the system is in shadow mode).
Note that the directory specified must contain the file named "passwd". If shadow mode is enabled, then the
directory specified must contain a file called "shadow".
EXAMPLES
Assume the daemon is started on the master NIS server as follows:
This indicates that the ASCII file from which the NIS passwd database is built is When this file is updated by a request from the NIS
passwd database is rebuilt and copied to all slave NIS servers in the master's NIS domain (see domainname(1)).
Log messages are written to the file
