** If you have /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
append below to your /etc/pwdb.conf in client

Code:

user:
    unix+shadow
    nis+unix+shadow
group:
    unix+shadow
    nis+unix+shadow

change like below to /etc/nsswitch.conf

Code:

passwd:     files nis
shadow:     files nis
group:      files nis

append like below to /etc/pam.d/passwd

Code:

auth  required  /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow  
account  required  /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so  
password  required  /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3  
password  required  /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so use_authtok md5 shadow

** if you have not pam_pwdb.so then append like below to /etc/pam.d/passwd

Code:

password required pam_unix.so obscure min=8 max=15 md5 nis
password required pam_cracklib.so retry=3 retry=3 minlen=12 dcredit=2 ucredit=2 lcredit=1 difok=3
password sufficient pam_unix.so obscure min=4 max=8 md5 nis use_authtok
password required pam_unix.so obscure min=4 max=8 md5 use_first_pass

** if you dont success for these methods then u can try this module for nis
PAM NIS authorisation module

good lucks
