Passwd wont push to clients

I'm working on a HP system with one HP client. Both are 11.0. When a password is changed on the master and I run a /var/yp/make, it doesn't push the new password to the client.
I read the thread a few subjects down and have confirmed that all the settings are like what was outlined in the earlier thread. I also added the line to enable logging without any success. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Re: Passwd wont push to clients

If anyone has the same problem, here is what I did to fix it.

The system was setup and the /etc/nsswitch.conf file had the following entry.

passwd files

The way our NIS was set up, the entry should have been.

passwd nis files

The client now uses the nis masters passwd file.

If anyone has a better/safer way, please reply. Thanks
