I still think the problem is having no shadow file in /var/yp/domain_directory. There's an option in the RedHat startup scripts for the NIS server that, depending on a configuration variable in /etc/sysconfig/ypserv (or something), it will either merge the passwd and shadow files, or serve them separately. Try setting up a second Linux server with this option to merge the files and see if then your AIX client can handle it.

ypwhich
ypwhich(1) User Commands ypwhich(1)
NAME
ypwhich - return name of NIS server or map master
SYNOPSIS
ypwhich [-d domain] [ [-t] -m [mname] | [-Vn] hostname]
ypwhich -x
DESCRIPTION
ypwhich returns the name of the NIS server that supplies the NIS name services to a NIS client, or which is the master for a map. If
invoked without arguments, it gives the NIS server for the local machine. If hostname is specified, that machine is queried to find out
which NIS master it is using.
Refer to ypfiles(4) for an overview of the NIS name services.
OPTIONS
-d domain Use domain instead of the default domain.
-t This option inhibits map nickname translation.
-m mname Find the master NIS server for a map. No hostname can be specified with -m. mname can be a mapname, or a nickname for a
map. When mname is omitted, produce a list of available maps.
-x Display the map nickname translation table.
-Vn Version of ypbind, V3 is default.
