Thanks jim mcnamara for the info.
I tried the passwd -r nis -e myusername and it seemed to do some things (i.e. it asked me what my password for my account was and then it asked me if I wanted to change my shell). I think this is what I wanted to do originally (just change my shell). At first I changed it to the zsh after figuring out where the files were doing a which zsh. Then when I still couldn't log in, I switch it back to the default again...
However, it did not fix the problem. I still get kicked out right after I try to log in. I am going to create a test user account now to see if it suffers from the same thing. I tried re-building a system and naming it something else just to rule out a blocking thing on the computername/id but the different system still has the problem with my account, so it defineately seems to be a problem with the account itself and the /home directory and/or settings.
It could very well be from when I was looking at the files as vbe said. I thought that the "view" command was a non-volatile thing. I may have viewed the files while doing a su and that could have goofed my passd file or my shadow file....
I appreciate your help in this. I am new to Unix and have not run into this before.

New Update:
I just created a new user account. Afterwards I was told to do a /var/yp ./make command to push out the settings etc.. for the new user account. I have the same problem with the new user account. I can Remote Login to another system but I cannot log in on the local machine.
Not sure if this helps...

nislog(1M) System Administration Commands nislog(1M)
NAME
nislog - display the contents of the NIS+ transaction log
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/nislog [-h num | -t num] [-v] [directory...]
DESCRIPTION
nislog displays the contents of the NIS+ server transaction log on the standard output. This command can be used to track changes in the
namespace. The /var/nis/trans.log file contains the transaction log maintained by the NIS+ server. When updates occur, they are logged to
this file and then propagated to replicas as log transactions. When the log is checkpointed, updates that have been propagated to the
replicas are removed.
The nislog command can only be run on an NIS+ server by superuser. It displays the log entries for that server only.
If directory is not specified, the entire log is searched. Otherwise, only those logs entries that correspond to the specified directories
are displayed.
OPTIONS
-h num Display num transactions from the ``head'' of the log. If the numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is displayed.
-t num Display num transactions from the ``tail'' of the log. If the numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is displayed.
-v Verbose mode.
FILES
/var/nis/trans.log transaction log
