The problem was caused due to a errant comment line in /etc/shadow, which
is not allowed.    Removing this line made things work.

On a 2.5.1 box, I had to disable NIS+ and make this a stand alone
machine. I did this by renaming the /var/nis directory (to
/var/nis.disable) and removing /etc/defaultdomain.  I also fixed
/etc/nsswitch.conf
