ypcat group, ypcat passwd
When i run the following command on our server
ypcat group
or
ypcat passwd

I get list of groups and users respectively.
I am not sure whether this list is only for the groups or users on the particular server on which i executed the command or all the groups and users on all the servers in the corporate.

And i also see /etc/group and /etc/passwd on server

Appreciate your response.

This should list all the users and groups in the NIS domain, (run domainname(1m) to find out what it is called) all NIS clients in that domain should list the same users and groups. Running ypwhich(1) will tell you the name of the NIS master server.
