Solved: Can log in remotely but not locally (Using NIS)?
Thank you EVERYONE for all of your help on this! I was feeling very silly not being able to figure out something that seems so trivial. I am coming from a Windows background so this one got me 
It ended up being something with the NIS service. The .../ypstop and .../ypstart solution proposed by ygemici fixed it. I can now log in again like normal on my test/sand box. I feel a lot better now not having to log in locally as root and remote in on other systems to do my work
Again, thank you to everyone for your help.

nislog
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
