That's name service priority. Reading services from NIS is considered bad in Solaris, it actually says as much in the supplied nsswitch.conf files. The order in important, in Solaris if files are before nis in nsswitch.conf that files are used first. It appears that your Linux machines are either giving priority to NIS or, are configured not to use local files.
