This is incorrect, nsswitch.conf is not for NIS client config. It is relevant for host names and it determines the order in which the various sources are called..

audit_user
audit_user(4) File Formats audit_user(4)
NAME
audit_user - per-user auditing data file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/security/audit_user
DESCRIPTION
audit_user is an access-restricted database that stores per-user auditing preselection data. You can use the audit_user file with other
authorization sources, including the NIS map audit_user.byname and the NIS+ table audit_user. Programs use the getauusernam(3BSM) routines
to access this information.
The search order for multiple user audit information sources is specified in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. See nsswitch.conf(4). The lookup
follows the search order for passwd(4).
The fields for each user entry are separated by colons (:). Each user is separated from the next by a newline. audit_user does not have
general read permission. Each entry in the audit_user file has the form:
username:always-audit-flags:never-audit-flags
The fields are defined as follows:
username User's login name.
always-audit-flags Flags specifying event classes to always audit.
never-audit-flags Flags specifying event classes to never audit.
For a complete description of the audit flags and how to combine them, see audit_control(4).
EXAMPLES
