Each OS handles things differently. Since SUN is more strict with NIS, if you have no directory or no shell, you can't log in. HP is more forgiving and it gives you a "loaner" shell or directory in some cases. AIX acts differently then either of these. If you mount SYS3 home directories to HPUX and SUN then you should not2have any issues regarding the directory. What entries do you have on both systems in /etc/passwd and /etc/group that start with a +? Some users, groups, or netgroups may be allowed/denied access which can though another wrench into the picture.

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.
